Released earlier this year, Thrive Toronto's Mental Health Report Card revealed that the mental health of Torontonians is getting worse – and that different groups are experiencing declining mental health at different rates.

This year's World Mental Health Day theme, "Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change," echoes a Thrive Toronto recommendation: work with communities to develop real and relevant solutions to address their mental health – including policy solutions to improve the social determinants of health.

Our upcoming research looks at adverse childhood experiences, whether this is a valid and useful concept in Indigenous communities, and if so, what can be done to decrease their impact.

Gender equality is critical to improving health equity. While women tend to live longer than men, they often suffer from poorer health and quality of life due to gender-based discrimination, including pay gaps and inadequate social and health protection.
