At mindyourmind, young people are valued as experts in their own experience and choose to engage in whichever way makes sense for them. Youth are involved in everything that we do, every step of the way. We explore, co-create and prototype using iterative cycles that involve youth and adult partners to discuss and design what matters to them in mental health.
Everything we do originates through interaction with youth and the professionals who serve them. Working alongside young people, every actor in the system has the potential to make meaningful change in how we conceptualize and ensure the mental well-being of Canadian youth. mindyourmind impacts systems change by increasing the capacity of young people to reach out, get help and give help through the use of technology, engagement and research-informed innovation.
We acknowledge that we are situated in the heart of Treaty 6, traditional lands of First Nation and Métis. Our recognition of this land is an act of reconciliation and an expression of our gratitude to those whose territory we reside on. Let us forge together towards a relationship of reconciliation, respect, understanding, and healing.
