A new survey conducted by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) found 87 per cent of people living in Canada want universal mental health care.

Data suggests that out of the 35 per cent of Canadians who said they had a mental health concern in the past year, one-third did not seek help. Some of the reasons given were the cost of treatment and not knowing where to go.

Experts say if you don't have an employer plan, or live in a major urban centre, accessing support is more challenging and access to existing programs isn't equal.
