Ontario’s Liberal government is promising $2.1 billion in additional mental health funding over the next four years. Premier Kathleen Wynne made the pre-budget announcement Wednesday at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “No one in Ontario should struggle to access mental health or addictions care for themselves or their loved ones,” said the premier. “We are thrilled with the government of Ontario’s remarkable commitment to increase mental health funding for children and youth community-based services,” said Kim Moran, CEO of Children’s Mental Health Ontario. Under former leader Patrick Brown, the Progressive Conservatives had promised $1.9 billion in new mental health funding over the next decade.
