Availability, Accessibility and Acceptability of English-Language Mental Health Services for the Estrie Region’s English-Speaking Population : Service User and Provider Perspectives
|
| Abstract |
The authors note that mental illness affects about 1 in 5 Canadians during their lifetime but only approximately 30 percent of people needing help actually access mental health services. They find that this low access rate is worrisome and may not accurately depict the reality as it is lived out by linguistic minorities. Their study documents both the need for and access to English-language mental health services by Quebec's Estrie region’s English-speaking minority. Intending to record their needs and access experiences against the backdrop of available English-language mental health services, both users and providers of these services were surveyed by the authors in tandem. They argue that their novel approach to mental health needs-assessment research shows the precarious situation of this minority community (high need/low access to language-congruent mental health services) to be further compromised by misperceptions of service availability.
