By Dr. Jennifer Russel and Jonah Starr In September 2018, the Child and Youth Mental Health Program at BC Children’s Hospital launched COMPASS, a new service to support physicians, as well as mental health and substance use clinicians across the province in being better equipped to support the complex needs of children and youth up to age 25 struggling with mental health and substance use challenges. Throughout the country, access to mental health services is limited. Epidemiological data in British Columbia suggests that 180 000 youth (0-25) require mental health services each year in our province. Of those, 130 000 seek support from their family physician and 25 000 received specialized services through the community child and youth mental health teams. However, approximately 50 000 youth do not receive any mental health services at all.
