Assessing the Mental Healthcare Gap as VSAC Loses Long-Term Counselling Due to Lack of Resources

Capital Daily

Facing a growing waitlist and a funding shortage, the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre has announced it will suspend its long-term counselling program. With the need for crisis support services as high as ever, where do we go from here? We look into the issue with Sam Loppie, Direct Client Services Manager at VSAC, and Jonny Morris, CEO of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s BC Division.
