What you need to know

In the Ontario child and youth mental health sector, there are no consistent strategies, frameworks or guidelines for organizational practices to improve racial equity for clients, family members and staff.

The Mathison Centre, CAN-BIND, and Mental Health Literacy are organizing a talk for youth about their mental health. Join the discussion about mental health and stress as youth share their experiences. Interested in a career in brain science or mental health? Meet neuroscientists, social workers, and psychiatrists who are sharing their stories! And come along as a neuroscientist leads you through a voyage through the normal and stressed human brain, with vivid brain imaging.

You are invited!

Hello!

I'm a cannabis education outreach worker for the Six Nations Reserve. I'm toying around with a workshop idea that will essentially keep idle hands busy and away from cannabis, while also educating about cannabis. The target audience would be children and youth. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on activities for this?

Thanks in advance,

This  workshop is ideal for anyone who interacts with children ages 5 - 15. There are special considerations when assessing the risk of suicide for children  that are not normally part of adult suicide risk assessments.

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

The YMCA of Greater Toronto's Youth Cannabis Awareness Program (YCAP) is currently looking for youth jurors to help evaluate posters and videos that were created for the YCAP-Y4Y Digital Media Contest.

The contest challenged youth from across Canada to create a video or poster discussing the effects cannabis use can have on youth brain development.

The YMCA-Youth Gambling Awareness Program (YGAP) is looking for Canadian youth 18-26 years old to take part in a focus group on gaming and gambling.
