A report released this morning by Children's Mental Health Ontario (CMHO) says the waiting list for child and youth mental health services in the province has more than doubled in the past two years.
There are currently 28,000 children and youth on wait lists to receive treatment, which is largely attributed to rising rates of anxiety and depression.
The report includes provincial and regional stats on wait lists and wait times, as well as recommendations for high-quality accessible care.
