The expansion is supported by $75 million over three years
Young people who are experiencing early signs of psychosis will have more options in getting the support they need after the province announced more funding to expand the Early Psychosis Intervention program.
"We know that 75 per cent of serious mental health issues emerge before the age of 25, and that is why early intervention is so critically important," said Whiteside."We have not just an approach to dealing with crises as they arise, but intervening before crises get severe enough that they require acute interventions and providing early interventions to really wrap care around youth who may be experiencing episodes of psychosis.
The provincial expansion is supported by $75 million over three years, allowing for more locations around B.C. and the hiring of up to 100 specialists to provide care and support.
