Representatives from 40 groups and agencies involved in youth mental health met in Fredericton on Thursday to discuss the controversial youth mental health facility in Campbellton. That organization is calling on the province to reconsider locating the youth centre, which is partially built in Campbellton, and instead make care more central. The former child and youth advocate Bernard Richard said that instead of institutional care, there needs to be more access to community care. John Sharpe, the director of development with Partners for Youth, organized the forum to discuss the future of the youth mental health centre under construction in Campellton but recently put on hold. Findings from the forum will go to the ministers of health and social development, Sharpe said.
