The Nova Scotia government has committed to providing $6.2 million over the next three years to the Dalhousie Centre for Psychological Health, located in Halifax. This funding aims to support mental health services for low-income and marginalized individuals who often lack access to necessary treatment. Addictions and Mental Health Minister Brian Comer announced the funding, emphasizing the importance of the clinic in delivering high-quality care to vulnerable populations. The centre, which opened in 2023, accommodates approximately 100 clients at any given time and utilizes students from Dalhousie's clinical psychology program, who work under supervision as part of their training. The funding will also extend the clinic's four clinical psychology residency seats for an additional two years. Shannon Johnson, co-director of the centre, highlighted the dual benefit of the model, where students gain valuable experience while serving a community in need. Both Johnson and Comer noted that many clients would likely not receive treatment without the clinic due to financial constraints or long wait times in the public health system.
