On April 24-25, 2023, one hundred diverse stakeholders from nine provinces and one territory gathered in Montreal as part of the first steps towards building an Indigenous Integrated Youth Services (IYS) Network, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
This Indigenous network builds on the work of the ACCESS Open Minds Indigenous Council, which is part of the larger pan-Canadian ACCESS Open Minds youth mental health initiative (funded by CIHR’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research and the Graham Boeckh Foundation), that supported the organization of the Montreal gathering. You can also read the Shareback report that summarizes the perspectives and ideas that came out of the gathering.
