Do you have experience with bipolar disorder (BD) and thoughts on how to
improve early identification and interventions in youth?
Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) wants to understand what young people find important in early identification and intervention for youth with bipolar disorder. Join us and share your views to help YWHO improve services and support for young people in Ontario.

This consult is for:

- youth aged (12-25) with lived and living experience of bipolar disorder

- youth caregivers (aged 12-30) supporting a young person with bipolar disorder

A new infosheet by the Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health provides insight into common challenges students may face during the transition from post-secondary education to the workforce, strategies to navigate that transition, and ways that campuses can support graduating students.
