Indigenous Mental Health Project resources

April 6, 2021

Between November 2018 and October 2019, through the Indigenous Mental Health Project we surveyed and gathered with almost 100 Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics, service providers and First Nation, Inuit and Metis youth from across Canada. Each group represented a strand of the basket. Across the three strands, participants identified 231 barriers to mental, emotional and spiritual health and well-being. Using the Three-Stranded Basket approach, four Grand Challenge areas were identified as the most important to address through a future targeted innovation program. Click on the image below to learn more about this project.
