pointing, the alternatives if the city doesn’t find a

range from a second reservoir at about $500,000 to a

PROVINCIAL BUDGET >
BOOSTS MIND MONEY

Terrace’ S Mental Health Centre, serving the area
from the ‘Yukon’ border. to Kitimat, and Smithers,
should see an increase in funding after part-of the
27% increase announced in the provincial budget
makes it up north. Mental Health coordinator Neil
Taylor will know later this month if several
_ prioritized services can be started or enhanced in the
_ Northwest.

"The largest program “would. be services for
‘psychiatric survivors’, those who have had a major
illness of some duration. Residential care, where one
or two people live in a family home, would be one
aspect of the program; work skills activities during
the day would also be provided." Taylor estimates °
that if the centre had the staffing, up to 100 people
in the area could be assisted by such a program. This
is the kind of programming that allows people to
remain in their communities. |

Another priority that would see enhancements
with an increase in funding would be native mental .

health. A fairly large program exists now, relying a —
great deal on volunteers to operate. Issues identified

by the native community include family violence and ,
sexual abuse. |
A third area that could benefit from increased
funding would be providing more "concentrated
attention" on communities outside Terrace. For
example, while the Terrace Mental Health Centre
serves an area that is one-third of the province
geographically, the Quesnel Centre serves Quesnel. |
Currently Terrace serves Smithers, Kitimat and
Stewart through satellite offices, and Cassiar, Hous-
ton and Hazelton have contract staffing. Enhancing .
\servieds for the Bulkley Valley could mean a centre .
in Smithers. |
Taylor explains that after the 27% increase is
allocated to the Ministry, then to Mental Health, a
certain portion would be set aside for the north —
from 100 Mile House up. Then mental health centres
would each receive their share. After discussions
with users of services, the Terrace centre would be
able to act on its priorities list. While Taylor cautions
‘that the north or Terrace may not receive a 27%
increase, he is pleased the provincial government is
taking action on improving mental health services.
