HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS REPORT:

The Youth Voice Report 2021-2022 is a summary of findings from young people in the Jack.org network about the mental health challenges, successes, and needs of themselves, their peers, and their larger communities. Its intention is to highlight the mental health realities of young people in our network and assist stakeholders in understanding the challenges youth face in achieving optimal mental health and wellbeing.

This report provides an overview of the current state of youth mental health in Canada and discusses salient issues among the Jack.org network in terms of what causes youth to struggle with their mental health, what prevents young people from accessing mental health care and support, and what strategies and next steps can improve the current situation.
