The need for mental health and addictions services has grown throughout the pandemic. One-third of Canadians aged 15 or older who reported having a need for mental health and addictions care said those needs were not fully met. By age 40, about 50% of the population will have or have had a mental illness. JBH provides mental health and addictions programs and services for adults, children and adolescents.
