The Canadian government has announced a nationwide program to provide free mental health services for youth aged 12 to 25. The initiative includes counseling, therapy sessions, and peer support groups available both in-person and online.
Health Minister Emily Clarke emphasized the importance of early intervention, particularly as mental health challenges among young people have increased in recent years. Schools and community centers will collaborate to offer accessible care.
The initiative has been welcomed by mental health advocates, who believe it will help reduce stigma and provide crucial support to vulnerable youth.
