Community Forum: Voices of Youth Mental Wellness

The Community Forum is the third phase of the CYMH project. At the forum, we shared what the project has done in previous phases. Forums were hosted in Calgary, Lethbridge, and Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada.

Youth, parents/guardians of youth, community partners, and individuals who are interested in youth mental health were invited to join our community forums to share their thoughts for promotion and early intervention on youth mental wellness. 

What did the forum look like?
