This is laudable, but my concerns regarding how this gets rolled out centre on where and to whom.  Is this going to be targeting southern communities?  There are a lot of northern communities who have difficulty accessing mental health services, just because of geographical challenges alone.  And the added concern I have is, regardless of where these are being rolled out, how culturally competent and safe will the services be for anyone from a different culture?  That is the other big block to people accessing services.

As an added note, I am always and forever concerned that there is this idea that health and education can be run like a business and therefore must meet the "bottom line" equation.  We need to shift this mindset.  It doesn't work, and when we're forced to function within that set of parameters, people's well-being is the cost.  That ends up in lost potential for a good quality of life for them, and additional costs (i.e. crisis, emergency department, etc.) for everyone
