Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Mental Health Services

Dr. Joseph Duffy:

From our perspective and a community perspective, it is very important to see the young person at the centre of the community. The supports young people have been getting from sports and community organisations are about trying to nurture and support that. During Covid, we have continued to look to support those online as much as possible and we have had some opportunities to do that. As restrictions continue to be relaxed, it is important that those organisations are coming on board and continue to support young people to interact more with the community. We have understood the importance of those organisations but also the contribution young people are making in leading and supporting them.
