About Youth Mental Health CanadaYouth Mental Health Canada is a grassroots, youth-driven and led non-profit organization focused on education, advocacy and filmmaking for youth mental health change.We advocate for greater funding of publicly funded, culturally sensitive, needs-based, innovative supports and services in healthcare and education.We believe that mental health and physical health should be valued equally. We need immediate and effective responses to mental health issues and crises. Waiting one year to access therapy, have a psychological-educational assessment and/or participate in in-patient or out-patient programs needs to change. We know what works for youth with mental health disabilities in the school system and we strongly advocate for suicide prevention strategies that demonstrate the value we place on the lives of all youth in Canada.We share international best practice and evidence-based news and information on youth mental health issues.Please feel free to share your ideas, insights, stories, input, questions, news and research with us.
