Province providing School District 83 with Integrated Child and Youth team
Integrated Child and Youth teams will support children with mental health and substance abuse issues
The teams offer counselling, peer and cultural supports in schools, homes and community settings
The B.C. government is introducing school district-based care teams to better serve children and youth with mental health and substance-use issues in seven new locations: Fraser-Cascade, Kootenay-Columbia, Mission, Nanaimo-Ladysmith, Okanagan-Shuswap, Pacific Rim and Powell River.
Citing a responsibility to their young audiences, local drag performers are continuing their story time events for kids despite pushback.
