Issue: Following the completion of CARIBOU-1, the "CARBIOU by CAMH" care pathway is now the standard of care at CAMH in Toronto, ON. Although it is currently being investigated for its clinical and implementation effectiveness across community mental health agencies within Ontario, the extent of readiness to implement this pathway remains unknown among mental health agencies in other Canadian provinces. Aim: To investigate whether mental health organizations across Canada (Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia) have the need, fit, and capacity to deliver an Integrated Care Pathway for the treatment of depression in adolescents. Community-based and academic mental health agencies across Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia will be invited to participate in the study. Consenting agencies will receive extensive detailed information about "CARIBOU by CAMH" and each of its components. Site-level group interviews, known as Readiness Assessments, will be conducted with teams at each site to evaluate their readiness to implement CARIBOU by CAMH. Questions about need, fit, and capacity will be covered during the 2 Readiness Assessment meetings, which typically last 1.5 hours each. Site-level group interviews will be conducted among mental health agency personnel. Contribution: Where gaps in readiness exist, mental health agencies can advocate for needed resources and the "CARIBOU by CAMH" developers can make program modifications to enhance the fit for future implementation. |

CAMH is situated on lands that have been occupied by First Nations for millennia; lands rich in civilizations with knowledge of medicine, architecture, technology, and extensive trade routes throughout the Americas. In 1860, the site of CAMH appeared in the Colonial Records Office of the British Crown as the council grounds of the Mississaugas of the New Credit, as they were known at the time. Today, Toronto is covered by the Toronto Purchase, Treaty No. 13 of 1805 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. Toronto is now home to a vast diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis who enrich this city. CAMH is committed to reconciliation. We will honour the land through programs and places that reflect and respect its heritage. We will embrace the healing traditions of the Ancestors, and weave them into our caring practices. We will create new relationships and partnerships with First Nations, Inuit and Métis and share the land and protect it for future generations.
