Increased funding is helping to increase access to supports for those living with mental health challenges.
The province is expanding access to its Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) program, connecting more people between the ages of 14 and 35 to the care they need.
Psychosis is used to describe conditions in which people have trouble distinguishing between what is real and what is not. The EPI program provides support and services to those experiencing some of their first mental health challenges, ensuring they have the treatment they need to minimize or avoid episodes of distress later in life while supporting recovery.
Funding for the expansion is part of the $396 million over three years promised in the 2024 Ontario Budget.
