About us
Youth Mental Health Canada is a grassroots, youth-driven and led non-profit organization focused on education, advocacy and filmmaking for youth mental health change. We advocate for greater funding of publicly funded, culturally sensitive, needs-based, innovative supports and services in healthcare and education. We believe that mental health and physical health should be valued equally. We need immediate and effective responses to mental health issues and crises. Waiting one year to access therapy, have a psychological-educational assessment and/or participate in in-patient or out-patient programs needs to change. We know what works for youth with mental health disabilities in the school system and we strongly advocate for suicide prevention strategies that demonstrate the value we place on the lives of all youth in Canada. We share international best practice and evidence-based news and information on youth mental health issues. Please feel free to share your ideas, insights, stories, input, questions, news and research with us.

Children deserves an environment that meets their needs. If a flower doesn't bloom, we fix the environment, not the flower. The same should be true for children. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalwellness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellbeing #Hamilton #canadamentalhealth #Canada #ymhc #hamont #canadawellness #canadahealth #hamiltonontario #hamiltonontariocanada #therapycanada #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthquote #mentalhealthquotes #quotes #quoteoftheday #QuoteoftheDay #quote #quotesdaily #quotesaboutlife #quotestagram #quotestoliveby #quotesforyou #quotesandsayings

It's can't, not won't. When kids can't do something due to a mental health disability, it is the job of adults to recognize the disability needs of each child. It is not your job to assume the child is just not trying hard enough. Shifting your attitude will shift how you treat children. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalwellness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellbeing #Hamilton #canadamentalhealth #Canada #ymhc #hamont #canadawellness #canadahealth #hamiltonontario #hamiltonontariocanada #therapycanada #mentalhealthadvocate #youthmentalhealth #childmentalhealth #studentmentalhealth #education #students #mentalhealthquote #mentalhealthquotes #quotes #quoteoftheday
