A wonderful story about how our Mental Health Program is helping youth.

 Yesterday afternoon I spoke to the customer service agent at one of our vendors. The women disclosed that she has a son that has been staying with us off and on for several years. She mentioned that she knew for years that just the drug & Alcohol counselling was not enough that he had mental health issues that were not being considered.

She said that since the mental health program has started at CHV that her son has been getting lots of effective help from us and the doctors from St. Paul's. In her words, she said that this is the first time that she has "seen her son" in years. Because of the mental health program, he's finally getting the proper medication and care that he's needed for a long time. Kudos Ron
