| Our Health - Community Mental Health & Addiction Support, Now and Into the Future | <a href="/Shared%20Documents/Events/Our%20Health%20-%20June%2023.jpg" target="_blank">Event Poster</a> | 6/23/2020 11:30:00 PM | 6/24/2020 1:00:00 AM | Our Health - Community Mental Health & Addiction Support, Now and Into the Future | Long before COVID-19 landed on our doorstep, an existing crisis continues to threaten the Healthcare system and exhaust our front-line defenders. While not contagious like a coronavirus, the ever-increasing number of people struggling with mental health disorders and addictions takes a devastating toll on available resources throughout the region.
Recent studies have estimated that 10% of our population consumes upwards to 2/3’s of the province’s health care resources. The majority of people in this group face significant life challenges. Many struggle financially to make ends meet; don’t have a permanent home; or are alone without a personal support network. Others are burdened with a chronic illness, mental health challenges, or are dealing with some form of addiction. Some have multiple, life-threatening disorders. Thanks to the presence of dedicated, front-line support personnel, including crisis counsellors, social services, police and medical professionals, many will receive the necessary support and successfully make it through to the other side.
Our panelists have the experience and qualifications to provide a unique insight to what is currently available to assist the most vulnerable in our community and how these support services are evolving to be even more effective in the years to come. By ensuring necessary resources are available to immediately address mental health disorders and addiction issues, we will all benefit from a healthier community in which to live.
