Focusing attention on early detection and treatment of conditions such as anxiety and depression, including spotting them in children, is a key landmark in the B.C. government’s road map for long-term improvements to mental health.
Health Minister Kevin Falcon this week released the government’s 10-year plan toward improving the mental health of British Columbians and reducing drug addiction.
The plan — Healthy Minds, Healthy People — places an emphasis on children and families in response to research that showed early treatment and intervention can dramatically reduce problems later in life.
