National Mental Health Funding and Support: Updates and Resources
Leaders across Canada want the government to keep funding mental health services. Most provinces are opening additional youth mental health centers, with federal funding. These “hubs” give young people free, walk-in help for mental health, medical, and addiction needs. The number of centers jumped from 63 to 101 in two years, as more youth need support. Calls and texts to crisis lines have also surged across the country.
