The Canadian Mental Health Association Peel Region Branch (CMHA Peel) works collaboratively with local police, a health care agency and a non-profit housing agency to support individuals living with mental illness who are at significant risk of involvement or re-involvement with the criminal justice system. CMHA Peel, on behalf of the partners, seeks a fee-for-service arrangement with a qualified bidder to conduct a comprehensive thematic literature review of published and grey literatures on two topics * police/mental health liaison initiatives, and short-term residential treatment beds. Proposals are due in electronic format by 5 pm EST Friday, January 20, 2010. It is anticipated that an award will be made and work will commence at the beginning of February 2010 with the final report due at the end of March, 2010. Detailed information regarding the scope of the literature review, the amount of the award, guidelines for preparing a proposal, and evaluation criteria for proposals are outlined in the Request for Proposals available from Patricia Penney-Rouzes at the email address below.
