Mental health services across the province will be made more accessible through $10 million in grants awarded to community counselling programs.
Twenty-nine organizations, including Prince George’s Carrier Sekani Family Services, which also has an office in Vanderhoof, have received funding to provide services including easy-to-access counselling, with a focus on marginalized people and those who have faced barrier accessing services they require.

The funding will help address gaps in care by creating multiple-entry points to services.
