Youth Mental Health Task Force Report
Update on the school-based medical clinic pilot project.
Victoria Family Court and Youth Justice Committee
Youth Mental Health Task Force
Youth Mental Health remains a focus for Youth in the Capital Regional District with several articles appearing in local media this year, some reprinted here. The Family Court and Youth Justice Committee remains committed to supporting a youth mental health pilot project. It remains my hope that a partnership will be possible in the Neighbourhood Learning Centres of the new High Schools at Royal Bay and Belmont. The Victoria Family Court and Youth Justice Committee continue to hold $10,000 in reserve to assist with the implementation of these spaces in partnership with VIHA and others.
We welcome the participation of all members of the Victoria Family Court and Youth Justice Committee and municipalities in this important project that could set the direction for youth mental health service in the future. There have been two successful resolutions at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities on this initiative and I believe the work will be of benefit far beyond our own region.
Respectfully submitted,
Cynthia Day, Chair Youth Mental Health Task Force
