Quebec Psychiatrists Demand Mental Health Minister | Ottawa News

Published 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

Quebec psychiatrists are demanding a bold overhaul of mental health care, calling for a dedicated minister to lead and coordinate efforts across government departments. Their plan includes expanding crisis support beyond hospitals, boosting worker resources, and leveraging telemedicine to reach more people — especially as youth mental health emergencies surge, with hospitalizations for suicidal thoughts among girls aged ten to fourteen tripling in a decade. They’re targeting the next provincial election to make mental health a central policy priority, not an afterthought.
