The province of Ontario is giving a substantial donation to Georgian College to create new support for students with mental health issues.
The Ontario government invests more than $9 million a year into mental health programs for post-secondary students and has promised more than $682,000 for a new Georgian College mental health project to add to their existing services.
“This funding is going to allow us to expand that role to students with addiction issues as well as helping students from high school to our college,” says Karen Baker with Georgian College.
