Mental Health and Addictions
We have made some significant investments in regards to Mental Health and Addictions here in Peterborough-Kawartha. A Rehab and Detox Centre, Right to Heal and the Hart Hub which will provide transitional support for those who are ready for the next steps in their journey. We need a full continuum of care, pathways to health and wellness; mental health counselling, detox services, residential treatment, and connections to social supports such as housing. https://davesmithptbo.com/news/
