The Community HOPE Project (COHP) at Leamington District Memorial Hospital aims to increase access to mental health and addictions services for the local community. COHP conducted a needs assessment survey and interviews to understand gaps in existing services and community needs. Preliminary findings from the survey found high levels of need for counseling/therapy and addictions support. Many respondents reported it being difficult to access needed support services in a timely manner. The majority felt there was a need to improve mental health and addictions services in the community.
