Access to mental health care for those experiencing a mental illness is essential, yet access to care is not equal for all. Past research suggests that there are barriers to accessing mental health care (Henderson, 2002; Kessler, Berglund, Bruce, Koch, Laska, Leaf, et al., 2001; Reiger, Narrow, Rae, Manderscheid, Locke & Goodwin, 1993). These include gender (Addis & Mahalik, 2003; Ang, Lim & Tan, 2004), age (Swartz, Wagner, Swanson, Burns, George, & Padgett, 1998), race, (Willie, Rieker, Kramer & Brown, 1995), education level achieved (Wang, Lane, Olfson, Pincus, Wells & Kessler, 2005; Steele, Dewa & Lin, 2007), and income level (Swartz, et al., 1998). By using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.2 Mental Health and Wellbeing (2001) this study assessed access to mental health care in the Canadian context. Results found that males, youth and seniors, people who achieved lower levels of education and those earning a higher income, did not access mental health care when needed. Other factors affecting access, including, location of services, payment for services, peer support, and access to care from social workers, were also assessed. Understanding the structural barriers preventing access to mental health care makes it possible to improve the mental health care system.
