***1 in 5 children have a mental health problem.***

Tax cuts are causing underfunding for children's mental health services and especially early intervention programs critical to children's success in school.

Vanier Children's Services in London, Ontario is facing core funding shortages of over $200,000 this year. Without your petitions, the Early Intervention Program WILL CLOSE IN JUNE 2008.
