Division of Mental Health and Addiction
The DFCM Division of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA) is the academic home of family physicians engaged in work to support the mental health of our communities.
Our Division has the following priorities:
- Support a cohesive academic program in mental health and addiction by encouraging primary mental health care, undergraduate and post-graduate medical education, continuing professional development, quality improvement, and research in the areas of mental health and addictions.
- Establish an identifiable community of practice among faculty and learners across all DFCM sites.
- Champion mental health and addiction care with a strong focus on access, stigma reduction, medical home, and shared care.

For Dr. Bilal Negash, family medicine is more than a career—it’s a calling. With roots in Northwest Toronto, the second-year resident is using his family medicine to give back to the communities that shaped him.

These coming months will be very important for family medicine as a discipline and for DFCM. It continues to be a time for us to lead with positivity and hope. We know the value of primary care and the joys that a career in family medicine can bring. Let’s make sure others do too.
