The Honourable Carolyn Bennett (Minister of Mental Health and Addictions and Associate Minister of Health) announced at the end of November 2022 that an Indigenous integrated youth services (IYS) network drawn from ACCESS Open Minds (AOM), will be part of a $1 million investment, along with three other provincial networks (Aire ouverte, Foundry and Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario), to lay the foundation for the Integrated Youth Services Network of Networks (IYS-Net).
