By working with the Charter members the Project Team identified potential champions and leaders in mental health care and brought them together to test and refine the knowledge generated during Phase 1. Using three pilot sites the relevance and utility of the toolkits was confirmed and the opportunities and barriers for developing collaborative care practices at the provincial and regional level were better understood.

Built on varied legal systems and cultural traditions, the Convention is a universally agreed set of non-negotiable standards and obligations. These basic standards—also called human rights—set minimum entitlements and freedoms that should be respected by governments. They are founded on respect for the dignity and worth of each individual, regardless of race, colour, gender, language, religion, opinions, origins, wealth, birth status or ability and therefore apply to every human being everywhere. With these rights comes the obligation on both governments and individuals not to infringe on the parallel rights of others. These standards are both interdependent and indivisible; we cannot ensure some rights without—or at the expense of—other rights.

- Restorative Justice - If each of us were to trace our own ancestry far enough, we would come to a time when civilizations were organized in small, close-knit communities. Whether we were tribes, clans, nomads or organized in agricultural hamlets, we depended on our community for survival and problem solving.
In matters of misconduct, a council, or some type of community gathering would be convened to decide the fate of offenders and victims. The wisdom and experience of the community's elders would be sought as safeguards against rash decisions, retaliation and anger. The method and appearance of 'community justice' varied between cultures but was similar in many ways.
