I don’t wanna talk about it: Working with hard to engage children and teens

Presented by SickKids CCMH Learning Institute

Technology has become a significant tool in our day-to-day lives – and it’s constantly evolving. Children are being introduced to technology at younger ages than ever before and have become incredibly versatile when it comes to navigating it. From growing issues like cyberbullying, internet safety, and sharing information online, today’s families are faced with a unique set of challenges when it comes to managing technology use.

The Mood Disorders Society of Canada's National Youth Advisory Council is recruiting high school students to join their High-school subcommittee!

This team works together virtually to plan and lead activities in their own schools around the country to raise awareness and funds for mental health and combat stigma.

Caring for a young person who has a mental illness can be difficult and confusing. The Family Connections program was created to help family members of people with borderline personality disorder live better lives. It provides them with information and research on mental health and family functioning, coping skills, family skills and social support. Until now, there has been no research on the effects of this program on family members of people with other types of mental health challenges.

As a teen, navigating today’s world for youth can be complicated and challenging.  

Let’s Chat About Mental Health invites teens to join us each month to interact, share and exchange.

A chance to chat in a safe space.

Each month teens will have one-stop access to mental health navigators, youth council representatives, traditional knowledge keepers and specialists.
