We, the citizens of the Burin Peninsula, petition, the Government of Newfoundland Labrador, and the Department of Health and Community Services, to initiate and create a fully functional Safe Room at the Burin Peninsula Health Care Facility. Such a room will meet the needs of youth in this area, as it relates to de-tox, addictions support for client and family, mental health supports, and allow clients, 16 years of age and under, the opportunity to avail of  in-patient services as determined by health care professionals. All in-patient services to be implemented with all the necessary human and physical resources put in place to ensure appropriate care and consideration for the continuum of patient care.
