"Establishing residential centres to facilitate the transition from prison door to normal life is a major breakthrough in the advancement of correctional practices. On behalf of all Canadians who believe in the freedom and dignity of the individual, I endorse the good work of the St. Leonard's Society of Canada."
- Pierre Elliott Trudeau |

In 2006, St. Leonard’s Society of Canada (SLSC) and the Canadian Criminal Justice Association (CCJA)designed a national initiative to identify the elements and means that can contribute to reducing the criminalization of individuals with mental health problems.
In 2007, four fora were held in Vancouver, Calgary, Kingston and Halifax that brought together concerned experts from health, mental health, law, corrections and law enforcement.
Participants and advisors identified a perspective of change, reduction of stigma and discrimination, development of community capacity, and promotion of a continuum of care as the core tenets underlying the necessary first steps to addressing the intersections between criminal justice and mental health.
Since 2007, there have been noteworthy changes throughout the field, while some key issues remain. This second edition of Towards an Integrated Network seeks to update the knowledge gained from the 2007‐2008 fora, and to highlight new information on promising practices. Along with a new focused research report, and a section raising federal and provincial policy perspectives, this document seeks to address information gaps so those who support persons living with mental health problems and illness will be better equipped to provide increasingly mindful and innovative practices that benefit the community as a whole.
