Mental health is a substantial problem in our society and our government is. In the past, many of the severely addicted and mentally ill patients of Greater Vancouver were sent to Riverview Hospital, a mental health facility in Coquitlam that was shut down in July 2012. The aftermath of the deinstitutionalization of these patients caused unneeded problems. Riverview Hospital must be reopened to provide the beds and housing that community facilities lack for those with mental illnesses. When Riverview reopens, patients will have access to the treatment they urgently need. Intensive care in secure wards at Riverview for patients that are chronically mentally ill is absolutely necessary. Additionally, the BC government must reopen Riverview Hospital

There are several challenges that I think my population of interest would face using this agency. For one, I think that most people will not take advantage of the services provided by the Forrest County Health Department. It could be for a number of reasons such as not having insurance, afraid of major health issues or what the doctor is going to say, or they may think that they are perfectly healthy. Another challenge that I think my population would face would be the fact they may have to take a variety of uncomfortable tests and examinations and also the fear of discussing personal or intimate information with a doctor. Last, but not least, I think that my population would face the challenge of anxiety, stress, shame or embarrassment due to this agency being within the community. Some people may not feel comfortable with going to a community health department because so many people from the community are going there and they may feel concerned about people knowing their personal business.
