New Brunswick's governing Liberals introduced legislation Wednesday to expand the mandate of the province's child, youth and seniors advocate by adding a dedicated mental health advocate role. The bill would place mental health oversight within that independent office. Local coverage highlights the move as part of ongoing attention to mental health services and protections for young people in the province.

Why now: Provincial lawmakers have just introduced the bill, drawing attention to how New Brunswick will oversee mental health concerns for children and youth.
