## Resource

The government’s $100 million mental health boost for new mothers, hospital beds, and psychology assistants sounds promising—but experts warn it’s a Band-Aid solution. Without updated data on mental health needs—last studied over 20 years ago—this funding risks missing the real problems. Dr. Hiran Thabrew argues for a full system overhaul: first, gather solid data; then redesign services and train staff accordingly. Short-term fixes won’t cut it when voters demand lasting change.
