The Network is evidenced-based, person-centered, and non-hierarchal in its approach.

Innovation requires the creation of new knowledge and may occur through two simple processes: combination and exchange. Networks, by their nature, can facilitate both by connecting new groups and individuals dynamically over time, as these processes are fundamentally embedded relationships. This type of collaboration creates opportunities for dialogue, exchange, reflection, combination and synergy, and accelerates the creation of new knowledge toward innovative solutions.

Our activities are informed by both the expertise of people with lived and living experience, and aligned with provincial priorities.

We respect, value and include the cultural diversity rights, views, and experiences of Indigenous persons in membership and activities, and in the delivery of culturally appropriate health services.

We share both responsibility and participation in decision-making, communication, determination and advancement of our activities among members.

We collaborate, partner, and seek representation from a range of individuals, sectors and regions to ensure diverse perspectives, expertise, and insights. To co-create and co-implement solutions to improve mental health and substance use services for people with complex needs.
