Greater Moncton will be one of five cities in Canada involved in a five-year research demonstration project on homelessness and mental illness. Earlier this year, the federal government allocated $110 million to the Mental Health Commission of Canada to find ways to help the growing number of homeless people who have a mental illness. Research will also be carried out in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal.
Former Moncton-Dieppe-Riverview MP Claudette Bradshaw has been hired as Director for the Moncton component of the project. Paula Goering, head of the research team for the Commission, and Sam Tsemberis, founder of the Pathways to Housing project in New York, were in the city in early September for the launch.

DALLAS - Heart patients should be regularly screened for signs of depression, the American Heart Association recommended Monday.
Depression is about three times more common in heart attack survivors and those hospitalized with heart problems than the general population, according to the recommendations published in the journal Circulation. The authors said only about half of heart doctors say they treat depression in their patients - and not all those diagnosed with depression are treated.
