Last week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford issued a statement for Bell Let’s Talk Day, the annual campaign to end stigma around mental health issues. “Mental health challenges can affect those closest to us – family members, friends, colleagues, and even ourselves,” he said. “Together, we can support everyone on their journey to mental wellness.”Over at Children’s Mental Health Ontario, they must have wondered if Ford was living in another dimension. “An estimated 200,000 kids with serious mental health issues have no contact with mental health services at all,” it said. And some of those waiting lists are as long as two and a half years for mental health treatment.
