The Child and Youth Advocate’s Youth Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Service’s Review has reached its midway point and has released its interim report, outlining recommendations for the Government of New Brunswick on suicide prevention and youth mental health services. This formal review stemmed from the death of Lexi Daken in Fredericton at the beginning of the year. The review will look into all of the circumstances surrounding this loss, and proceed from a broad scope of review into how young people in New Brunswick are experiencing access to youth mental health services, suicide prevention and intervention services as well as how their families are supported in relation to these services and social and health care needs. The final report stemming from this review will be released in July 2021.
