I was hoping to gather and share some Power Point Presentations on topics related to child and youth mental health and addictions(ie anxiety, depression, substance use, psychotropics, eating disorders, self harm)in order to present the most up to date information to community partners, schools, stakeholders etc.  Thank you so much for all your help.

Hello Marie:

This PP is one I created as a mother who lost her son to accidental Oxycontin drug overdose (mixed with psychiatric meds)

It is an Opioids 101 from lived experience evidence but also includes info/evidence from my systems level advocacy roles with Ministry of Health Expert Advisory Narcotics, CAMH OpiATE Initiatives, Halton Methadone Maintenance Steering Committee, MH LHIN etc...(all has been fact checked)

This also includes the dangerous changing landscape of Opioids, STIGMA and both my son and I struggled with concurrent disorders of both mental health and addictions........

You are welcome to use any parts of this that may be helpful...

You are so welcome Marie.

Thank you for your condolences...

I attached a poster that has some pictures that I made for another presentation and it says..."WE ARE REAL, Fighting for a chance-Advocating for Change- HUMANIZING addiction & overdose and it's collateral damage".....

Whether it is physical death or pure destruction of quality of life....mental health and addiction just rips at the core of 'family' units and the collateral damage is so far reaching...

Here are two webinar recordings and slides from the CAMH Health Promotion Resource Centre. Available in English and French, the recordings and slides provide information from a review of youth mental health promotion programs in Canada. They are based on this report here: http://hclinkontario.ca/images...MHP_Report_FINAL.pdf

 

Hope these help!

 

Youth Mental Health Promotion in Canada: Research and Action (Dec 2012) Recording | Slides

The CAMH Resource Centre recently completed a scoping review of youth mental health promotion programming in Canada using a youth engagement lens to identify successful programs. As a scoping review, this research was exploratory and aimed to map the extent, range, and nature of research activity in the area of youth mental health promotion programming. This webinar will provide an overview of this review highlighting results and recommendations for research and action. Staff from YouthNet Ottawa and the Fourth “R”, two programs included in the scoping review, will share information about their respective programs.

 

Promouvoir la santé mentale chez les jeunes : ça ressemble à quoi? (Juin 2013) Diapos | Enregistrement

Le Centre de ressources de la promotion de la santé de CAMH a mené une étude exploratoire des programmes de promotion de la santé mentale des jeunes au Canada. Il s'est placé sous l'angle de l'engagement des jeunes pour déterminer le succès des programmes. Comme il s'agissait d'une étude exploratoire ou examen de la portée, l'investigation a été faite dans le but d'établir l'étendue, la portée et la nature des activités de recherche dans le secteur des programmes de promotion de la santé mentale des jeunes.

 

Durant ce webinaire, nous avons fait un survol de cette étude et mettrons l'accent sur ses résultats et sur les recommandations en matière de promotion de la santé mentale des jeunes pour la recherche et les actions à venir.

 

Des représentants de deux programmes (L'ABC des relations et Réseau Ado) sont venus partager des informations sur les objectifs de leur programme, l'engagement des jeunes, les résultats en santé mentale, l'évaluation et les données probantes et commenteront la pertinence des recommandations faites dans le cadre de l'étude dans le secteur de la promotion de la santé mentale des jeunes.

 

Hi Marie,

 

The Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health has a number of resources that may be useful to you. 

 

We deliver training on various topics related to child and youth mental health (e.g. bullying, stigma, anxiety, suicide prevention, youth engagement, family engagement), as well as training on evaluation and implementation. We are currently adding to our suite of free, online learning modules which are publicly accessible on our website: http://www.excellenceforchilda...ing/learning-modules.

 

We're preparing to launch a new online learning hub in November which will feature more modules in both official languages (including topic-specific modules like bullying, stigma, anxiety, etc.). That's something you can certainly look out for as they're evidence-informed and developed for practitioners. We'll be continuing to add to the suite of modules (future topics include mood disorders and self-injury, among others).

 

The Centre also developed a full day Mental Health Awareness workshop for practitioners working with children and youth across sectors. This workshop covers a number of topics you identified. The training is delivered by trained trainers in various communities. For more information about that and to get connected to a local trainer, you can contact my colleague Natasha McBrearty, Manager, Knowledge Exchange: nmcbrearty@cheo.on.ca 

 

In addition, for up-to-date evidence on a variety of topics related to child and youth mental health, you can consult our Evidence In-Brief 2-pagers, which are available in English and French on our website: http://www.excellenceforchilda...ht/evidence-in-briefThe briefs summarize key findings, recommendations and the general state of the research on a specific topic requested by a community mental health agency.


Feel free to connect with us at the Centre at any time. It would be great to learn more about what you're doing to identify any ways we can provide support.


Thanks,

MaryAnn

Thank you Monica and MaryAnn:

Amazing resources...I love anything that is health promotion and prevention.

Monica, I particularly like the engagement section- The Ladder of Youth Participation chart shows what allowing TRUE participation is and what is Not true participation as in tokenism, decoration and manipulation.

That is quite applicable across all ages and stages when one is a lived experience/'family' advocate at both systems and community level....

MaryAnn, I really like the website and the 'evidence in brief' part.

Supplying the brief analysis of so many topics is so helpful. I would be interested in getting the 'Full Evidence In-SightReports' for the following 'evidence in brief' reports that were on your website.

1) Centralized intake: Best practices in child and youth mental health

2) Effective anti-stigma efforts for child and youth mental health

3) Engaging youth and families in mental health services

4)Peer navigators in youth mental health services

Can you help me with that?

Thank you....
