The United Way Perth-Huron Social Research and Planning Council has released a report looking into what the best practices and approaches are to serve mental health, to educate the community and to highlight the issues still present among residents of the area.
Ryan Erb, the Executive Director for United Way Perth-Huron says that they are very excited about this report.
The survey showcased the most vulnerable groups within the community, with young women being one and people with lower incomes being another. Another area that was highlighted was mental health in men, something that is not always touched upon.
The goal of the document is to be a roadmap for what the next steps are to help those with mental health and addiction who need or want it.
