The College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Mental Health Commission of Canada developed a Best Advice guide: Recovery-Oriented Mental Health and Addiction Care in the Patient's Medical Home, which provides strategies and recommendations to help family physicians support individuals with mental health and substance use problems. The guide includes tips for providers on how to discuss mental health and addiction issues, such as using non-stigmatizing language, displaying signage in support of mental wellness, and incorporating at least one question per visit that elicits a response about emotional health.
