It's about looking at the prevention side of things, looking upstream, looking at how you can have services available to individuals before they have a shotgun in their truck. I think that really is what it comes down to. We haven't done a good job of prevention. We haven't done a good job of putting mental health on par with physical health in the way we deal with it.
Chris was saying how he fell off a roof and went in. There was no question about the services he was going to get, no question about the long-term services ensuring that he had follow-up visits for his physical health. We don't have the same thing when it comes to mental health.
The prevention side, yes, needs to be there. That can come through national campaigns, specifically hotlines or websites on how to deal with wellness, how to deal with day-to-day stresses, and how to prevent getting into a situation where you think the only out is a shotgun. That is a piece of it, but it has to be followed by treatment.
One thing we've noticed is that when you look at mental health now across Canada, it's out of the shadows in the sense that a heck of a lot of people are able to talk about mental health now in a way they never did before. I imagine Chris 10 years ago wouldn't have shared that story about his cousin. We're coming out of the shadows now, and having those conversations, but you have to have the services. It's almost like gaslighting people when you tell them, okay, you can come out and talk about the issues—that you have this issue, that you're stressed, that you have to do something for you and your family—but then there are no services you can access. That's when we get into crisis.
