SCIS information shows that children's mental health centres are successful in treating children with mental health problems. Ontario's 90 children's mental health centres treat 120,000 children. 7,000 children are on the waiting list. The average wait for treatment is six months. Four times as many young people kill themselves now as was the case 30 years ago.
Ministries make funding decisions in isolation from one another.
The earlier a child receives treatment, the better.
