BC Children’s Hospital is looking to reach out to more young people who are struggling with mental illnessess.
They’ve launched a website called foundrybc.ca.
The site aims to provide BC youth and young adults, who are between the age of 12-24 with more resources if they’re seeking help.
Dr. Janet Davidson says 70 per cent of mental illness in adults start at a young age so they want to address the problem earlier.
Davidson says this is a pilot project and they expect to expand and offer more services in the future.
