Adjusting the Spotlight Consultation

The Youth Action Committee (YAC) is a provincial advisory committee, made up of youth aged 16-25 who work to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and improve mental health services for children and youth through youth led policy. The YAC identifies a major issue impacting Ontario youth experiencing mental illness and seeks to provide youth-led solutions on these complex issues. Following province wide youth consultations, the YAC works with Children's Mental Health Ontario's (CMHO) policy team to generate youth-led policy recommendations. The group works together to deliver findings and recommendations to stakeholders responsible for change.

In 2020, the YAC met for a new policy cycle and has narrowed their focus to exploring race in the mental health system. This year we are hosting consultations to explore the experiences of racialized youth in Ontario that identify with either being low income, male/masculine, LGBTQ2S+, or living in Northern and Remote Communities.
 
Our hope with these consultations is to amplify the voices and experiences of racialized youth within the Child and Youth Mental health Sector across Ontario.
