History
When the Community Mental Health Branch was created in 1987, it took over the Mental Health Operations Branch's responsibilities for community-based services. The Director of the Community Mental Health Branch reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister, Mental Health.
By July 1988, the Director reported to the Executive Director, Community Health Programs Division (later renamed Community Health Division). The Division in turn reported to the Assistant Deputy Ministers, Community Health (until 1990), Community Health and Support Services (1990-1992) and Population Health and Community Services System Group (1992-1994).
In 1994, the Community Mental Health Branch ceased to exist and was replaced with the Mental Health Programs and Services Group.
