In Nova Scotia there's a system called Schools Plus. It came out of something called the Nunn Commission, and it is using an interdisciplinary approach in three jurisdictions in Nova Scotia: Halifax, Bridgewater, and I'm not sure what the other one is. We come together around the table with a child who has been labelled at risk. That could be at risk for deviant behaviour or mental health issues. We come around the table--OT, mental health, social workers--and look at the needs of this child and how we can best meet the needs. Again, it eliminates that turf war of yours, mine, my dollars, your dollars. These children are getting the help they need without falling through the cracks.
