Talk is a start. And must be followed by more mental health resources for struggling youth. ASAP. The wait lists for free & affordable counselling are discouraging & a huge obstacle to restoration of health. They may even make the difference between life & death.

Talk is a good start, but real change needs to go further. There's a lack of available & timely services for youth with mental health challenges. Especially if they're struggling but don't meet the criteria for "crisis" services. More is needed, yesterday!

Just don't "suffer in silence." Please. No one should have to, & there's no need to. Everyone needs & deserves a listening ear, validation & lifting up sometimes. We all do.

Good news! We needed this 10-15 yrs ago but better late than even later or never. More slow rehab is definitely needed for older adults. Most rehab programs have targets that are unrealistic for patients w/ complex issues. Their criteria exclude some seniors w/ rehab potential ☹️
