To mark National Child and Youth Mental Health Day, the Government of Canada announced the distribution of $30.3M to 21 projects through the Youth Mental Health Fund. Project teams will use the funds to help more young Canadians access inclusive, community-based mental health supports. Several teams from postsecondary institutions are among the recipients, including those from Lakehead University ($2M), Université de Moncton ($1.9M), Dalhousie University ($1.7M), and the University of Calgary ($500K). “By funding accessible, culturally safe supports, and community care, we give young people the tools to thrive, contribute, and lead Canada forward with resilience and hope,” said Canada’s Minister of Health Marjorie Michel.
