Will the Minister update the Mental Health Act to include family members?

05 Oct Will the Minister update the Mental Health Act to include family members?

“I have heard from many families that psychiatric emergency services excludes them from the care of their loved ones in a mental health crisis. It is wonderful that Health Minister Adrian Dix met with Crystal Kenzie and Cindy Zimmer following my questions, and he acknowledged that the mental health care professional understand the importance of family, there are too many tragic examples where the policy and the practice limited the involvement of the family. Government needs to update the Mental Health Act, and again Minister Dix steps around the question in his response.” Adam Olsen, MLA
