Car 40 a success in tackling mental health crises
KAMLOOPS — It’s mental health week across the country, bringing awareness to conditions that plague one in five Canadians.
In Kamloops a partnership between Interior Health and the RCMP is helping people dealing with mental-health challenges, and it’s easing pressure on the system.
It’s called the Car 40 program, and since October 2012 a mental-health nurse and a police officer have been working together to help those in crisis around the city.
