As our community continues to grow, so does the need for a stronger, more coordinated mental health and addictions system. We're calling for provincial action to:
✅ Fund transitional care services
✅ Expand youth mental health supports
✅ Develop a health-led framework for stabilization, treatment and recovery

Together, we can reduce pressure on hospitals, improve access to care, and help more people get the support they need, when they need it.
