Backgrounder: Government of Canada invests millions into mental health and distress centres

This is the backgrounder for the mental health and distress centres. Supporting the mental health and well-being of Canadians, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, is a priority for the Government of Canada. A $50 million investment to increase the capacity of distress centres across the country, announced in the 2020 Fall Economic Statement, will help connect Canadians to the appropriate supports and resources. This funding will provide distress centres across Canada with the support they need to meet increased demand for crisis services.
