A team of experts led by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health is creating an online platform it says will fill longtime gaps in youth mental health care.

The Canadian Youth Mental Health Insight Platform will help young people find service providers in their area, and allow mental health practitioners to record and collect important data on a nationwide scale, says CAMH.

This large-scale collection of data will also allow for AI-powered analysis that could help inform public policy, said Hill. The platform will also help mental health providers tailor their services to better meet the needs of different groups, said Dr. Jo Henderson, a clinician and researcher. Henderson said one of the project’s key advantages is that it’s been designed with input from young people about how to make sure the web portal serves their needs, as well as those of clinicians and researchers.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.“The most important ideas that are contained within this work that we’re now about to embark on originated with young people,” Henderson said.
