It also looks at equity and access among those who are most vulnerable to developing mental health or addictions problems. The Evidence Exchange Network (EENet; formerly OMHAKEN) is coordinated through the HSHER at CAMH. EENet works to improve the quality of mental health and addictions services, supports, research and policy by linking and engaging service providers, planners, researchers, decision-makers, policy-makers, consumer/survivors and families in knowledge creation and exchange across all levels of government and the health care system in Ontario.
