youth and children generally

Frayme is thrilled to launch the Learning Through Living (LTL): Applied Research Grant Program to embed lived expertise from youth and/or caregivers in youth mental health and substance use (YMHSU) research.

What is it?
IN-ROADS (International Network for Research Outcomes in Adolescent Depression) is a research project that looks into which outcomes (things that changed with treatment, like a person's energy levels or mood) matter most when treating youth depression. This project includes youth, family members, doctors and therapists. Researchers tend to measure outcomes that they think are important, meaning different researchers measure different outcomes; this can make it difficult to compare findings from different studies to find out which treatments work the best!

The Strength in Structure Project, through the Canadian Council for Youth Prosperity (CCYP), invites service providers to take part in a focus group about Black youth employment outcomes.
