In this article, we present the momentum for change at the policy level within the field of mental health, and we present a framework to support population mental health action that builds on previous work developed at the NCCHPP. Finally, we illustrate how the application of a populational responsibility perspective, as it is defined in the context of Québec, facilitates the implementation of the various elements of this framework. In the end, we hope that this will better equip public health actors to situate their practice in favour of the population’s mental health.
