Dec 20, 2017, (Canada) CBC: Teens with anxiety, psychosis, mood disorders fill day program to capacity http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-insight-dr-jackie-goodwin-mental-health-1.4438167
A group of between eight and 10 teenagers arrives at P.E.I.'s Insight youth mental health day treatment program most mornings at 8:15 a.m., and starts the day with breakfast. …
These teenagers all have mood disorders, anxiety disorders or psychosis — and often more than one diagnosis. …
Designed for those aged 13 to 18, teens get referred to the program by a community mental health clinician, youth addictions services, a psychiatrist or a pediatrician, and from there the family meets with the Insight team to determine if it's the right program for them.
