SYDNEY, N.S. — Youth at risk, adults with autism spectrum disorder, seniors and others are among those who will benefit from new provincial funding. More than $7.1 million in one-time grants will be distributed to community groups around the province. The programs range from promoting mental wellness to addressing specific mental health concerns, according to a news release.
"People lean into their communities when they're facing hard times and need support," said Brian Comer, minister responsible for the Office of Addictions and Mental Health, said in the release."Sometimes it's the art program or the drop-in at your local community centre that makes all the difference when you're struggling. These groups are doing amazing work in their communities. We're happy to support them as they help people build resilience and stay well.
