A pleasure to meet and support this important work.

We need more dedicated funding to help improve community access, lower wait times for treatment, and improve mental health outcomes, especially for vulnerable youth. #cdnpoli

Thank you MP @jeneroux, discussing community mental health organizations.

The organizations bear the weight of an overburdened mental health system in our communities and ridings. #CCMHN supports these organizations and will continue working hard to do so.

[MoodDisorders Canada @MoodDisordersCa]

Thank you @CarolHughesMP for hearing our concerns regarding the mental health landscape in Canada.

Funding limitations, staffing shortages and restricted access to essential resources are some of the many challenges the collaborative #CCMHN seeks to address.
