This province is in dire need of new facilities to treat teens and children struggling with mental health issues.
No ones knows that more than Maureen Billerman of Dots NB who created a non-profit group after struggling to find help for her child with mental health challenges.
Billerman tells CHSJ News the province is seeking request for proposals for a 15-bed treatment centre for children and youth.
She says the facility for children and youth in crisis who need serious help.
She says they will work intensely and the idea is that they will get back into their communities as quickly as possible.
Billerman calls this move a really good step that will serve a deep need.
She expects it will be open a year from now.
