Dear <<First name>>:

WE’RE EVOLVING. SEE HOW.

As system transformation continues, the Centre is introducing some important changes. See how we’re enhancing our services to meet the evolving needs of the child and youth mental health sector. Learn more

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

The Centre recently said farewell to Dr. Simon Davidson, our co-founder and a well-known advocate, clinician, leader, connector and researcher. He’ll soon be playing a lead role at BC Children’s Hospital and spending some well-deserved time with his west coast family. Saying goodbye is difficult, but two people summarized our gratitude for his contributions perfectly in their letters, one from the mother of one of Simon’s patients, and the other from Amy Boudreau, our Director of People, Planning and Performance. We wish you well on your new endeavours, Simon! Read their messages.

FAMILIES SPEAK OUT

The Centre and Parents for Children’s Mental Health have worked with lead agencies across the province to ask families what an effective and accessible mental health system means to them. Check out their top 8 priorities. Learn more

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT!

MEETING YOUTH WHERE THEY'RE AT

The Cornwall Community Hospital is connecting with youth, using texts and emails to help set up appointments and connect to services. Find out how they're doing it on the Centre's youth engagement toolkit, Walking the talk.
