The CISSSO notes an increase in requests for mental health care

The Halloween murder that took place in Quebec City raised questions about the demands for mental health care. It seems that the context of the pandemic is also bringing greater demand for mental health care to the Outaouais.

Even if she did not have the exact data, the CEO of the CISSS de l’Outaouais, Josée Filion, mentions that the current demand is higher than usual.

The labor shortage, particularly with regard to psychologists, therefore seems to be a challenge for the CISSS de l’Outaouais.
