Christine says that the system is under-resourced when one staff member's illness can shut down a whole service.

I think my individual circumstance, I think they had to cancel because the person was sick, and they didn’t have a replacement. And then I didn’t get rescheduled. I think that was a fault within the system and not any individual professional. I think there’s people to, they’re gonna get sick, they’re gonna get canceled. They have so many referrals, things can happen. But I think there must be for that to happen to somebody when they are dealing with like a mental health concern shows how under resources, under resourced these areas are. Where only the absolute worst case scenarios are getting the attention that should really be going to everybody who’s dealing with mental health concerns like this. So, I think it’s it’s more of a systemic problem, as opposed to any individual health care professional. I think the actual health care professionals doing this work is so commendable. And I think there’s probably a lack of resources in the system for them to do it in an ideal way.
