Abstract
In this commentary the authors highlight the difficulties developed countries have had in generating effective means of addressing
inequities in mental health. Limitations in research, policy, and service responses are discussed and the social entrepreneurship
framework is suggested as a means of better understanding how mental health disparities might be addressed. The example of
the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture is provided to illustrate the points made.
