Manitoba First Nation peoples' use of hospital-based mental health services: trends and solutions.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results raise serious concerns about the responsiveness of community-based mental health services for FNs in Manitoba, because of both increasing rates of episodes of hospitalization and decreasing age of admission. Given the documented lack of mental health services accessible on-reserve, levels of social distress associated with a history of oppressive policies, and continued lack of infrastructure, current trends are alarming.
