Mental Health Research Matters Improving equitable access to care for youth in vulnerable situations through practice-near research that addresses youth needs and the importance of sharing knowledge.Improving equitable access to care for youth in vulnerablesituations through practice-near research that addressesyouth needs and the importance of sharing knowledge. Discover our projects From research to practical knowledge for positive changes in youth mental health service provision. Our research strives to contribute to the youth mental health landscape in Qu\u00e9bec by promoting equitable access to care for youth in vulnerable situations. Our main research project \u201cMental health services in youth protection\u201d seeks to better understand how to improve mental health intervention activities in youth protection services to make them more accessible, appropriate, and equitable. Learn more Understanding the challenges Many children and youth lack timely access to equitable mental healthcare due to barriers such as finding a trusted provider, scheduling, and transportation. Those leaving child welfare services face greater challenges, leading to higher rates of homelessness, judicial issues, and mental health problems. Find out more Learning from the field Meeting with practitioners, decision makers, managers and youth in both youth protection services and mental health services allows us to get up close to the field and understand how these services are coordinated and used on a day-to-day basis. Read the research Improving quality, equity, and access to services Mental health and youth protection are services that operate under differing structures. This creates tensions and challenges, but also many have found ways to innovate. Understand what helps and what doesn\u2019t help coordination and communication between youth protection services and youth mental health services. Learn more Research Project Improving Services for Youth in the Juvenile Justice System This research project aims to identify barriers to accessing services for youth under the Youth Criminal Justice Act in Qu\u00e9bec (LSJPA) and to develop practice standards. Youth involved in the juvenile justice system have greater needs regarding their health, addiction, and mental health services than youth in the general population. They also face more significant challenges than their peers as they transition into adulthood, including personal, academic, and professional difficulties, as well as higher rates of homelessness.
