Aim: To empower youth within their own communities by promoting collaboration and co-development between youth with lived experience, community mental health agencies and research teams. We also aim to better understand the utility and significance of youth engagement at mental health community agencies. Local Youth Engagement (YE) teams will be developed and trained. YE teams will support their local community agency in whatever way they see fit. YE teams will complete questionnaires and interviews to understand the needs of their mental health community agency and how the YE team has been able to support these needs. The CAMH YE team will work with community agency youth and staff to develop local YE teams at community mental health agencies participating in the CARIBOU-2 clinical trial Contribution: Ensuring that youth are actively participating in research design and implementation and promoting the active collaboration between youth with lived experience and researchers. |

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.
