Mental Health Promotion: Population Health Perspectives

The Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health (CJCMH) is an interdisciplinary publication devoted to sharing information on the mental well-being of Canadians and their communities. CJCMH invites submissions to a special issue sponsored by the Canadian Population Health Initiative of the Canadian Institute for Health Information. The special issue will be dedicated to mental health promotion from a population health perspective, with particular emphasis on equity and the role of social determinants of health. We hope to elicit papers that explore a variety of research and practice-based perspectives from a range of disciplines, and from health and social care professionals, mental health policy and decision-makers, and academic researchers.  Papers may address:

  • Links between social factors (such as employment, life balance, or the social environment) and mental well-being
  • Risk and protective factors linked to the prevention of mental illness and the promotion of mental health
  • Policy initiatives and reforms that improve mental health outcomes, services and access to resources
  • Evaluation of systems change interventions
  • Innovative strategies and programs addressing issues of equity in mental health promotion
  • Mental health promotion programs conducted in community and/or health system settings
  • Mental health promotion programs aimed at vulnerable populations
  • The challenges of evaluation: how to evaluate, what to evaluate, and indicators related to mental health promotion
