Joey Laguio faced severe anxiety during high school and university, leading him to seek help from Anxiety Canada. He found their online resources beneficial as they complemented his therapy. However, funding cuts from the B.C. government threaten the availability of these resources, raising concerns among mental health experts about the impact on individuals relying on them. Experts like Dr. Julie Eichstedt express fears for those dependent on the platform, highlighting a lack of compatible alternatives for treatment and support.
"The specific resources were helpful to me because I could access them at any time I wanted to and also because they were a good complement to the therapy I was doing."
"I'm really worried about what's going to happen to all those people that have been dependent on these [Anxiety Canada] resources, because there's really nothing compatible for me to send families to."
