Parents for Children's Mental Health - Breaking Down Barriers and Building Futures
There is a crisis of child and youth mental health services in Ontario. Five out of six children with mental health problems (83%) do not receive any professional help at all. Existing services are inadequate, underfunded and inconsistently delivered from one community to the next.
Experts and advisory groups agree that “a radical transformation of mental health and addictions care is necessary if Ontarians are to get the care they need and deserve."
Together with Families, Agencies, Government, and Communities, Parents for Children's Mental Health continues to work to break down the barriers that prevent child and youth mental health services from getting the recognition they deserve.
PCMH supports families, empowers families, and educates to bring increased awareness to the issues that surround child and youth mental health.
