Now Recruiting: Halton Crisis Continuum Community Advisory Group

The Halton Crisis Continuum (HCC) brings together community, health, and social service partners across Halton Region to strengthen how mental health and substance use crisis supports are delivered — ensuring people get the right care, at the right time, from the right person.

We’re now inviting community members to join a new Community Advisory Group (CAG) that will help guide this work.

As a CAG member, you’ll:
✔️ Share your experiences and insights about crisis supports and services
✔️ Participate in discussions that shape how care is delivered
✔️ Join a supportive, inclusive, and accessible space for community voice

Who can apply:
People with lived or living experience of a mental health or substance use crisis, caregivers, family members, or friends who have supported someone through crisis. We especially welcome applications from people who identify as Indigenous, Black, racialized, disabled, neurodivergent, 2SLGBTQIA+, unhoused or precariously housed, first-generation immigrants, youth, and older adults.

Applications open October 27 and close November 14, 2025.
