Two parents are grieving the loss of their daughter, who froze to death on the streets of Dartmouth just hours after they say their daughter was dismissed from a mental health clinic.
They blame Nova Scotia’s mental health system.
“We are very frustrated with the system and very angry,” mother Irina Andriychuk said. “We lost our daughter to, actually, a terrible health system.”
Irina and Mike Andriychuk said their daughter Yuliya died the night of Nov. 14, 2022. She was 32 years old.
Her medical records indicate she went into mental distress while outdoors and died from hypothermia.
The Andriychuks say Yuliya had been dismissed from a mental health clinic just days prior, without medication.
It was the end of a two-year battle with the province’s mental health system for the family.
Alicia Draus has the story.
