Chatham-Kent’s MPP says a new approach is making positive impacts for those suffering with mental health issues in Ontario.

In 2019 the Government of Ontario set aside an additional  $2.5 million dollars in funding for local groups and caregivers, and according to MPP Rick Nicholls, that was just part one of a 10 year strategy.

With today being Bell Let’s Talk Day, Nicholls wants to make sure that the conversation continues all year long.

Nicholls says organizations that got some money focus on indigenous programs, youth programs and services for those in the ag industry.
