Structure & Membership

Our Structure

Two EPION members co-chair and lead the network and work closely with the membership chair, EPION coordinator and working group chairs.

The working groups include:

• Partnerships, Education, Access and Knowledge Exchange (PEAK)
  Formerly: Community of Interest (CoI)
• Knowledge Exchange Event Planning
• Metabolic Monitoring
• Research
• Standards Implementation Steering Committee (SISC).

The Provincial System Support Program (PSSP) at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) leverages its provincial structure to support EPION’s mandate. PSSP provides project management, knowledge exchange, implementation, and evaluation expertise to the network.

EPION is funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.
