Wired For Success

Recent estimates suggest that one in three Canadians will experience a neurological or psychiatric condition in their lifetime. This amounts to more than four million Ontarians—half living with a mental health challenge and the other half living with a chronic neurological disease, disorder or injury (brain condition). The related impact is staggering, not only because the prevalence is so high but also because these conditions affect every aspect of life for entire families. October 2011


Social Policy

Wired for Success

It is estimated that over three million Ontarians are currently living with a neurological, psychiatric or developmental brain condition. These conditions are often progressive and effect every age and stage of life. At the same time, they create a significant and often catastrophic impact on the individual with the condition, as well as on their families and caregivers. For all of society, the health, social and economic costs of brain conditions are enormous, yet there has been no cohesive and integrated strategy for addressing these impacts across Ontario to date.
