Youth Research and Evaluation eXchange (YouthREX) is excited to launch an interactive online conversation series on how the Ontario youth sector is adapting to shifting contexts as a result of COVID-19.
When the pandemic hit, youth programs did not just pack up but continued their relentless search for ways to keep supporting better outcomes for Ontario’s youth!

Engaging Indigenous Youth for Kids Help Phone: A reflection of knowledge shared is a report prepared by Sister Circle Consulting for Kids Help Phone. This report was shaped with guidance by Kids Help Phone's Indigenous Advisory Council and engaged 180 young people over 11 sessions across eight locations in Canada. The report reflects young people's perceptions and understandings of mental health, identity, spirituality, relationships, coping, and healing.
August 12th marked the 21st annual United Nations International Youth Day.
International Youth Day gives an opportunity to celebrate and mainstream young peoples’ voices, actions and initiatives, as well as their meaningful, universal and equitable engagement.

Understanding emotions can be complicated. The Cundill Centre for Child and Youth Depression at CAMH is happy to release two animated videos to help young people understand depression.
A new webinar, presented by Tara Elton-Marshall, shared information on the prevalence of cannabis use among Ontario and Canadian youth, focusing on pre/post legalization changes.
You can watch the recording here: http://cannabisknowledgehub.ca...ng-legalization.html
I was surprised to see the change in how many youth use edibles.
Did anyone else find the information presented surprising?

The Cannabis Knowledge Exchange Hub team is busy producing research snapshots featuring the newest evidence on non-medical cannabis use.
Research snapshots are short, plain-language summaries of recent peer-reviewed research articles. They make it easy to understand and use the most current evidence.
We recently released a snapshot answering the question, "Does cannabis use lead to more severe alcohol consequences for young adults?"

Research has shown that a type of antidepressants, called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can help reduce the symptoms of depression in young people. This handout explains, in simple language, what SSRIs are, when youth might see the benefits and what side effects, if any, can occur. It also provides tips on how to take the medication. This resource is meant for youth. It can also be used by health care providers, pharmacists or other supports in young people’s lives to help explain SSRIs to youth.
