The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) is currently seeking applications for four new Youth Council members (ages 18-29) who have lived experience with mental illness, or who have experienced the mental health system through a family member or friend.
Members will be asked to participate in various MHCC projects in order to provide youth representation and perspectives.
The Youth Council welcomes candidates from all parts of Canada including urban, suburban, rural, remote, and northern locations.
Their commitment to diversity and inclusion means that they also welcome applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds, such as members of visible minority groups and persons with disabilities.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday July 5, 2023.
