More mental health, addictions support for youth, caregivers in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is investing $3.2 million to provide young Nova Scotians and their families easier access to mental health and addictions support.

Brian Comer, Minister responsible for the Office of Addictions and Mental Health, announced funding today, June 15, for eight new Integrated Youth Services sites that will bring community-based services for youth aged 12 to 25 together under one roof. Supports will range from mental health services, such as counselling and peer support, to social services, such as housing and income assistance.
