Thank you very much, Mr. Hanley.
The short answer is no. We do not have the necessary supports to help children and youth deal with the mounting mental health and substance use health challenges they are facing and are going to face as they age.
The solution, to echo Dr. Conrod's points, is building in upstream preventative and mental health promotion interventions that meet them along the way and create effective referral pathways into available, community-delivered, out-of-hospital treatment options. These could be early psychosis intervention or prevention programs that deal with addiction and substance use health, to name a few.
The issue is that everything is behind a paid door, not available or behind long wait-lists.
