Before the onset of COVID 19, 28,000 kids were on waitlists, sometimes up to 2.5 years for specialized treatment. We are already seeing an increase in demand and expect it to increase. It is critical that we make children’s mental health a priority right now. 1/3 #kidscantwait

The numbers I use are from the Hunden Strategic Partners. The firm Stoney paid $500k of City money to provide analysis. They are the ones that said RVA could get an NBA team. I have more Accounting and Economics degrees than the entire company.
Since they are the firm hired by Stoney to provide analysis I am just taking them as the best case scenario, because we all know these public projects always take longer than planned and produce less revenue. See Redskins Training Camp.
On to the findings.

Kids mental health in ON has been underfunded for decades resulting in long wait times of up to 18 mnths for kids seeking treatment. What will your party do to ensure Ontario’s youth receive timely access to high quality mental health care? #AskAndrea #onpoli #kidscantwait
With nowhere to turn because of long wait lists or a shortage of services near where they live, many children and youth are forced in desperation and crisis to seek mental health treatment at hospital emergency rooms. #AskAndrea #kidscantwait #onpoli
When children receive treatment in hospitals, they are stabilized, kept for a few days, and are discharged only to wait in long lines for treatment at child and youth mental health centres. #AskAndrea #kidscantwait #onpoli
