The University of Windsor, Faculty of Law, in partnership with The Empowerment Council (a nonprofit organization that acts as a voice for mental health and addiction service users at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto) will establish a student legal clinic that addresses the complex, intersectional legal needs of mental health and addiction service users. The first of its kind in Canada, over three years the clinic will conduct a needs assessment, develop public legal education materials, and provide CAMH patients with legal information, support, and referrals.
