In response to the abrupt closure of the Asian Initiative in Mental Health (AIM) on June 18, 2025, a broad coalition of healthcare leaders, advocates, and community members formed the RE-AIM Coalition to demand accountability, restore vital services, and reimagine culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health care.
We invite you to join us in this growing movement to ensure equitable mental health support for all.
Our Demand & Our vision
Our Demand
We call on UHN (University Health Network) to:
- Immediately reinstate AIM (Asian Initiative in Mental Health) to its full capacity.
- Convene a cross-sector consultation forum that includes affected communities and frontline voices to ensure culturally safe, equitable mental health care for Chinese, Portuguese, and other racialized groups.
Our Vision
RE-AIM is more than a mental health initiative—it is a movement to restore healing, dignity, and cultural connection.
- A renewed Centre of Excellence in cultural psychiatry and community mental health
- Rooted in equity and lived experience
- Advancing care that is culturally grounded, community-driven, and evidence-informed
Together, we are shaping a future where mental health care reflects the diversity of those it serves.
