St. Clair Child and Youth wants to know how to improve its services.
The group which supports mental health in young people including providing suicide support lines, has launched a survey hoping to make help easier to find and responsive to the challenges youth are facing.

“We’re looking for folks to tell us what they think is working or not working, or how services could be easier to find and use,” says Craig McKenzie, Interim Executive Director.

“The feedback is important to help us improve the child and youth mental health system by making sure it makes sense and is accessible.”
The survey can be found at the website www.stclairchild.ca and will be availiable until the end of November.
