It is widely recognized that mental health issues are not given the same attention or funding as those of physical health and that more resources need to be focused on community mental health services. This includes support services relating to mental illness as well as increased understanding of both mental illness and mental health.

A set of questions relating to these issues has been asked of all of the candidates for the March 3 Alberta Provincial Election. Questions and Responses to date can be viewed here.

If you have the opportunity to address any of the candidates on these questions, you are encouraged to do so. Thank you for your interest in making Alberta a better place to live for people with mental illness.
