18 RATIONALE 18
19 More responsibilities, less rights o Compared to mental health professionals, caregivers have n Less support from the system n Less rights to health information n More burden in the care of their ill relatives (Canadian Mental Health Association, undated) 19
20 Between a rock o First, they (caregivers) must suffer with their loved ones through their daily hardships and use their limited personal resources to try to alleviate them o Second, they must contend with a mental health system that often excludes them from involvement in the informationgathering and decision-making processes 20
21 And a hard place o while simultaneously leaving them to serve as the fail-safe mechanism to provide unlimited, unpaid care, filling in the cracks that open when any part of the so-called system fails (The Standing Senate Committee, 2006, p. 34) 21
22 JUSTIFICATIONS 22
23 Best practice approach o Carer Recognition Act (Government of Western Australia, 2004) o Carer Recognition Policy (Queensland Government, 2007) o Caring for Carers (UK Department of Health, 2008) o Manitoba Caregiver Recognition Act (2011) 23
24 Manitoba Caregiver Recognition Act (2011) o These caregivers provide a valuable service to their families and to their communities, and in many cases, it comes at a physical, emotional and sometimes financial cost to individuals and families o Our legislation recognizes both the value of their contribution and the need to work with caregivers to provide a network of supports 24
25 THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 25
26 The Standing Senate Committee Report (2006) o Recommendation #2 n That health care professionals take an active role in promoting communication between persons living with mental illness and their families 26
27 The Standing Senate Committee Report (2006) o Recommendation #3 n That health care professionals have discretion to release personal health information, without consent, in circumstances of clear, serious and imminent danger for the purposes of warning third parties and protecting the safety of the patient 27
28 The Standing Senate Committee Report (2006) o That this discretion be governed by a clearly defined legal standard set out in legislation, and subject to review by privacy commissioners and the courts (The Standing Senate Committee Report, 2006, p. 69) 28
29 Mental Health Strategy for Canada (2012) o Priority 2.1 n It is critical that they (families) have access to the information and resources they need to sustain themselves, and that their voices be heard in the mental health system (Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2012, p. 29) 29
30 Mental Health Strategy for Canada (2012) o Priority 3.5 n Caregivers need increased access to financial supports like tax credits, caregiver allowances, and respite care, as well as to workplace policies such as allowing caregiver leaves and flexible hours that would ease their burden (Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2012, p. 55) 30
31 THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT 31
32 Selection Committee Final Report to Ontario Legislature (2010) o Recommendation # 21 n A task force to incorporating adequate representation from caregivers to propose changes in involuntary admission and treatment 32
33 Selection Committee Final Report to Ontario Legislature (2010) o Recommendation # 22 n A task force to investigate and propose changes to PHIPA to ensure caregivers have access to personal health information of their ill relatives 33
