Q1. Having read the article: "Mental Health Services in Canada: Barriers and Cost-Effective Solutions to Increase Access" you will know that barriers fall largely into one of the following categories:

1. costs to patients / insufficient government funding

2. not knowing where to get help

3. excessive wait times

Generate a fact scenario that illustrates how your barrier could seriously impact a patient. Then share what ideas you have to go about reducing that barrier.

Q2. Do we need a move away from Rx for mental health? Should we focus on the comorbidities of poverty, education, unemployment, housing, etc
