Mental HealthIncrease Mental Health funding and policy in order to increase the number and efficiency of services provided by our mental health support facilities. |
What and Why?The University of Alberta’s mental health services require 1 million dollars a year to keep their doors open, much more to make a meaningful impact. The government of Alberta, however, has provided a budget at just barely above 1 million dollars a year. We have seen too many students succumb to the stress of post-secondary schooling and too many tragedies across the nation to allow our mental health services to fail to reach its full potential. It is time for mental health to be seen as a serious issue, and one that demands our attention.
