The Metta Clinic, based at Alberta Children's Hospital, is only open one half day a month. "[It's] definitely not enough," said Dr. Joe Raiche, a psychiatrist at the Metta Clinic. He says wait times of up to three years can magnify mental health concerns in transgender youth. Dr. Ted Jablsonski has several young patients waiting to get into the Metta Clinic.
