Description
Mental illness disproportionately affects young people worldwide between the ages of 15 and 29.It accounts for approximately half of the overall burden of disease in this age group, making it the leading cause of disability.Given the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on youth mental health, we are at a crucial point in time where the ideas and conversations around improving information sharing need to be turned into tangible action.
The purpose of the Brain Canada Youth Mental Health Platform is to introduce a call to action to the youth mental health research community for the development of a national youth mental health platform with the ultimate goal of sharing data across disciplines, including people with lived experience, in order to create synergies across these groups while accelerating the practical application of research findings in improving youth mental health services.
