Dr. Lewis-Fernández, senior cultural psychiatry expert—director of a cultural competence center at Columbia and past president of both WACP and SSPC—urges full restoration of the AIM, arguing its abrupt shutdown without community involvement disrupted care, eroded trust, severed partnerships, and removed a vital training site. AIM long addressed mental health inequities among Chinese and Asian Canadians and served as a recognized model for UHN and the University of Toronto; closing it amid global retrenchment against equity, diversity, and inclusion sends the wrong message. The letter stresses that culturally sensitive general services and culturally tailored programs are complementary, and dissolving the latter is short sighted and contrary to international best practices. It calls on UHN to reinstate AIM and engage in meaningful dialogue with affected communities to rebuild trust and deliver culturally competent care.
