Under “cost pressures” to make up a $160 million budget shortfall The Vancouver Sun ‘Trimming the budgets’, has detailed the funding cuts to some of the most needed services in Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal Health Regions.
I am shocked at the scrapping of funding that targets programs that are still failing and falling far short in supporting the many individuals with mental health issues in our communities. link to the Vancouver Sun to review a full list of services that are going to be affected.
All week B.C. psychologists have been engaged in heated debate about raising public awareness on how some of the most vulnerable Canadians are suffering, and how they (psychologists) should respond.
Tell us what your reactions to these cuts are – we really would love to hear your thoughts.
