The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health is working on a toolkit on Supporting 2SLGBTQ+ Students on Campus, and we are looking for collaborators! This project aims to provide staff on Ontario campuses with tools and strategies to build evidence-based services and shift campus cultural structures to better support the needs of members of 2SLGBTQ+ communities.

The topics that will be covered in this project include:

Has COVID-19 effected a youth’s gambling behavior? Are youth using video games differently during the pandemic? Given current restrictions how does a program effectively discuss gambling awareness with youth?

This co-presented webinar is part 3 of 3 in CAMH's Gambling, Gaming and Technology Use program's 2022 series of standalone yet interconnected webinars titled, ‘The Impacts of Digital Technologies on Mental Health and Addictions’. New evidence and experience will be shared to demonstrate the digital health needs of young people who are accessing youth mental health services. A particular focus will be how young people engage with social media platforms (e.g., TikTok, Instagram).

The Youth 4 Youth (Y4Y) - Youth Cannabis Awareness Program (YCAP) is running its third annual digital media contest .The contest is free to enter and challenges youth across Canada (aged 18-24) to create either a poster, video or both that takes a neutral and evidence-based approach to discussing how cannabis use affects youth brain development. The top 5 submissions each receive prizes with the winning video being awarded $2000 and the winning poster receiving $750.
