OTTAWA — Health and Addictions Minister Ya’ara Saks is looking for pitches to help young Canadians who are struggling with their mental health.
The federal government plans to distribute $500 million for projects that help young people struggling to afford private mental health care services.
The funding comes from the five-year Youth Mental Health Fund announced in the spring federal budget to tackle the stress, anxiety and depression young people are facing amid a high cost of living and global uncertainty.
The government says the fund will support culturally relevant Indigenous programming.
Health Canada says nearly two-thirds of mental health disorders emerge before people turn 25 years old.
The department will accept project proposals until Jan. 22.
