07 / ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
I asked a question.
I’m staying
with the answer.
I’m Adam Gould, an Ontario based Canadian advocate. I started Nobody Owns It to make responsibility after psychiatric emergency discharge visible.
A systems question
with a human cost.
I know this gap through lived experience. This campaign does not publish my medical records or ask anyone else to publish theirs.
I began asking hospitals, governments, watchdogs and advocacy organizations who coordinates the handoff until the next service accepts a referral. I kept the replies, the redirects and the unanswered questions.
The goal is a process people can rely on: a named role, confirmed referral acceptance, a next step and a backup route if things do not work out.
Ontario is the starting point. The question belongs across Canada.

HOW THIS CAMPAIGN WORKS
Stay factual.
Stay on the handoff.
Protect the person
Keep personal health details, private contact lists and individual disputes out of the public record.
Change the record
If an office identifies the owner or corrects a fact, update the campaign. Getting an answer is the point.
WHERE THE WORK GOES NEXT
Evidence.
Plain language.
A practical pilot.
The lead work is accountability after discharge. Further public education can explain provincial patient rights and distinguish policy announcements from delivered care.
The campaign does not endorse a party, an institution or a treatment pathway. The proposal keeps clinical decisions with clinicians and asks the system to account for the transition.

Make it your
question, too.
Ask your elected representative who stays accountable until follow up care accepts the person.
