I’m happy to announce today that an NDP government will reverse years of Sask. Party cuts to school-based supports and will make children’s mental health a priority in Saskatchewan.

Scott Moe’s government has failed to support vulnerable students. I’ve heard from too many parents and teachers worried about how this pandemic is impacting their kids’ mental health. Young people have been through so much in the past months, and supports were already inadequate.
It’s way past time to invest in students and give them the support they need now and good skills for the future.
Under my leadership, an NDP government will invest $5 million to hire 50 mental health nurses to work in schools across Saskatchewan and an additional $5M to work...

...school boards, reverse Sask Party & hire child psychologists, counsellors & other mental health supports. This will help in the short term as kids navigate the constantly changing challenges & stresses of a pandemic and will be an important part of restoring needed services...
as part of a long-term mental wellness plan. Scott Moe and the Saskatchewan Party have cut per-student funding by $300 per student since 2015-16. Today there are fewer counsellors, fewer psychologists and fewer speech language pathologists than there were in 2015-16.
The mental health of our province’s youth is not a luxury. Real support now can ensure that kids aren’t left to suffer alone. It can also ease the burden on our health care system by helping young people avoid mental health and addictions issues later in life.
