Northwestern Ontario is welcoming 20 new mental health workers.
Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro says they will work in schools, including the Kenora Catholic District School Board and the Keewatin-Patricia District Board.
Mauro says mental health has always been an important issue, and there seems to be an increase demand for support services.
The new mental health workers are a part of the 600 that have been hired in the province to help children, young people and their families get quick and easy access to support.
