A stand-alone, residential addictions and mental health care facility is needed to serve the city and region, board members say.
The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George board of directors showed its support for the creation of a stand-alone addictions and mental health treatment facility in Prince George.
“We have an enormous problem here with mental health and addictions. People are dying,” Alan said. “A stand-alone facility, long-term, would allow for Indigenous learnings and care. I see that as a hole here in Prince George.” “We need to take care of our people here, with the family supports they have here,” she said. “ they will be filled to capacity just with Lower Mainland people.”
“I am absolutely in support of us advocating for this,” Prince George city councillor and regional district director Cori Ramsay said.
