I think the federal government could support such initiatives.
Sheena's Place is funded right now through donations. They don't currently have much access to government funding. What they do provide are groups. They do provide the funding for the therapists who provide the groups. They provide a safe place for patients who have had negative experiences and are afraid to return to hospital.
In fact, sometimes, even people who work in the hospitals, like me, will meet a patient at Sheena's Place because it feels safer for them. I would strongly endorse the work done by Sheena's Place and similar organizations like Hope's Garden and Danielle's Place. We need more services, but we also need to help them provide more services.
I know that Sheena's Place often worries about whether they'll have enough funding. Sometimes they have to cut back. They really do live month to month.
