CARIBOU in Chile
The CARIBOU Pathway is expanding internationally!
The CARIBOU-2 Pathway is a multi-component treatment pathway for young people with depression, originally developed in English in Canada by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). The pathway has since been adapted into Spanish and piloted for efficacy and acceptability in Chile. The Spanish-language version of the pathway was piloted in a randomized controlled clinical trial in Chile, led by Dr. Jorge Gaete, a psychiatrist and researcher at the Universidad de los Andes in Santiago. The study was conducted in school settings and recruited youth with moderate to high levels of depression. Results demonstrated a significant reduction in depressive symptoms, and the pathway was rated as highly acceptable by participating youth.

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.
