The parents of a woman who lived in Dartmouth, N.S., say their daughter died after being turned away from a mental-health clinic. They want to know why it was so hard for her to get help.
Yuliya Andriychuk, 32, froze to death outdoors in a neighbourhood near the Woodlawn Library in November, after her appointment at the clinic was cancelled, her parents say.
She was beautiful and intelligent with an exciting future ahead, her parents say. She had many hobbies like writing, painting and fishing, and was in her final year of studying psychology at Dalhousie University.Yuliya had also been living with depression since 2020. They say she received varying levels of care when her mental health deteriorated.
Michael Andriychuk says when he reached out to doctors to try to get his daughter help, he was told her file was confidential. The term clinical therapist can represent several positions such as occupational therapists, social workers, counselling therapists or masters psychologists, according to Nova Scotia Health.
Operating this short-staffed is a challenge but the department has found ways to continue offering a high level of care to those who need it, Pulsifer says.
