Nova Scotia’s Government to take the next big step on the road to a mental health care strategy

When we launched OneinFive.ca, it was with the goal of securing a mental health strategy for Nova Scotians. During the Speech from the Throne read on March 25, 2010, the Nova Scotia government took us one large step forward when it committed to developing a mental health strategy.

Premier Darrell Dexter and Health Minister Maureen MacDonald should be applauded for making this landmark pledge to the countless Nova Scotians who are touched in some way by mental illness.

Now it is time to work collaboratively with Government to make a Nova Scotia Mental Health Strategy a reality.

Over the coming weeks, we will be refocusing OneinFive.ca to better meet this new goal. We encourage you to continue visiting and offering your invaluable support.

Thank you and congratulations on having your voice heard on mental health in Nova Scotia!
