Quebec is hoping to reduce wait lists and widen access to help by injecting $100 million into mental health services as the novel coronavirus pandemic continues, an announcement that was pushed up following a deadly sword attack in the province鈥檚 capital that killed two and left five injured. ()

Here are some experts from 成人VR视频 who can provide comment on this issue:

Martin Drapeau, Full Professor, Departments of Educational and Counselling Psychology and Psychiatry

鈥�The COVID-19 pandemic and the recent attacks in Quebec City illustrate, once again, that our health system does not adequately meet the need of Quebecers when it comes to mental health services. A significant increase in funding is needed for mental health services in our hospital system. In addition to this, Quebec should fund psychotherapy in the private sector. This would increase access to services and free up the public system who could then focus on the individuals who require multidisciplinary care.鈥�

Nancy Heath, James 成人VR视频 Professor, Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology

"Increasing mental health services is essential. But what ARE mental health services? Absolutely we must make sure that those who need one-on-one therapy have access to it. However, many more would benefit from UNIVERSAL mental health outreach to build mental health resilience. We need to be proactive not just reactive and responding to individuals in crisis. We must not forget to help people cope with day-to-day life and must address mental health difficulties (such as stress and anxiety that interfere with quality of life but are not yet a clinical disorder) rather than wait until they meet criteria for mental illness.鈥�

Tina Montreuil, Assistant Professor, Department of Educational & Counselling Psychology

鈥�Investing in mental health resources and support is a first step in the right direction. However, as research findings suggest, in order to ensure access and efficient use of resources, there is an urgent need to educate people on the importance of prevention and early access to care as well as to normalize and destigmatize mental health services. It is also critical to inform the population on the importance of self-care to promote resilience and well-being as we continue to experience the impact of the pandemic.鈥�

Tina Montreuil is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology and an Associate Member of the Department of Psychiatry.
