This factsheet was created by the Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health.

HERE’S HOW THE AUTHORS DESCRIBE THIS FACTSHEET:

For two years, the Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health supported child and youth mental health agencies across the province in consulting with youth. The goal was to ensure that youth voice was included and reflected in the development of community mental health plans, and to help lay the groundwork for ongoing meaningful youth engagement; 369 youth were consulted in 17 regions, and youth identified the eight priorities outlined in this factsheet to improve mental health services.
