In this submission, we highlight four priority areas for improved investment in BC: community-based mental health and substance use care, housing, income supports, and child and youth mental health and substance use.

Child and Youth Mental Health in BC: A submission for the Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth

CMHA BC’s written submission is in response to a review of issues related to child and youth mental health conducted by the BC Legislature’s Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth. The submission outlines what CMHA BC thinks the government can do to ensure mental health for all children and youth. It draws from a number of resources throughout the submission, including CMHA BC’s history of advocacy on this issue, the local experiences of CMHA branches, youth, the work of allied organizations (e.g. YoungMinds in the UK), and key reports including those produced by the BC.
