New B.C. pilot project aims to help youth in crisis
Sarah Bell, BC Children’s Hospital’s chief operating officer, welcomed the funding.
“ reality is that also includes children and youth with substance abuse problems,” she said. Just under 13 per cent of children aged four to 18 years, or nearly 95,000 children, experience mental health disorders causing significant symptoms and impairment at any time, she said. “It’s estimated that 70 per cent of mental health and 90 per cent of substance use problems have their onset during childhood and adolescence.
Whiteside added that government has committed an “unprecedented” $1 billion to build that system, including $236 million for youth mental health and addiction services across the province, pointing to the expansion of the foundry system, a network of centres for youth supplying various services.Last week, Whiteside announced 24 new publicly-funded substance-use treatment beds Thursday with 18 located at the Phoenix Society in Surrey and six at Covenant House in Vancouver.
