Long Term Care Residents with Severe Mental Illness (Saskatchewan, Canada)

About this Priority Setting Partnership 

Over the past few decades, severe mental illness such as mania, schizophrenia, bipolar and severe depression have steadily increased among long-term care residents.

Many unanswered questions remain with regards to the experiences of long-term care residents living with severe mental illness, and even less is known about the needs of long-term care residents living with severe mental illness within the Saskatchewan context.

The Long-Term Care Residents with Severe Mental Illness PSP launched in July 2023 and will work to bring Saskatchewan long-term care residents, their caregivers, and relevant care professionals together to identify evidence uncertainties for long-term care residents living with severe mental illness.
