Is Mental illness affecting Canada’s economic potential and their Bottom line? And Are there Cost Effective ways for the Governments to reduce ways for Incarcerating our youth.
About 10 years ago to suggest mental health was a critical issue for Canadian businesses would have seemed ludicrous. But that thought is quickly catching on as Ottawa  announced earlier this month of a national standard to help businesses put in place policies that improve employees’ psychological health, The Government Ottawa finally admitted that there are far too many Canadians with mental illness for the business community to ignore
them.

The standard came in response to the findings of a federal study showing there are as many as 800,000 well-educated workers in Canada who suffer from mental disabilities but who are perfectly capable of working if offered the right conditions in which to do so — a staggering number considering the labour shortages faced by many of the nation’s critical industries.

Today Live from Our Studios of Radio Shalom CJRS 1650AM in Montreal we will be speaking about the economic costs of mental illness in Canada. We will be discussing the direct health care costs of mental illness as well as the indirect costs and the importance of addressing this important issue affecting 1 in 5 North Americans and as well We will be discussing how our money can be better spent on rehabilitative therapeutic interventions in dealing with the youth delinquency and addiction as opposed to current punitive measures we have in place now
that do not work.
