Research Associate, ACCESS Open Minds Indigenous Youth Mental Health and Wellness Network
The ACCESS Open Minds Indigenous Youth Mental Health and Wellness Network is a national initiative dedicated to enhancing the mental health and wellness of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis youth across Canada. It serves as a collaborative gathering and learning space for Indigenous youth, Elders, Knowledge Holders, families and carers, community members, leaders and organizations; provincial and territorial Integrated Youth Services (IYS) networks, and both Indigenous and allied service providers and researchers and trainees.
This exciting research program builds on the work of the ACCESS Open Minds Indigenous Council. It aims to identify and share wise practices; identify, develop, and evaluate culturally appropriate and contextually relevant interventions, and measures; understand views of Indigenous youths, service providers, and decision-makers on topics related to youth mental health and mental health services and developing culturally and contextually relevant outcomes, among others.
