OCD Public Lecture

Improving Youth Mental Health and Well-Being During the COVID-10 Recovery Phase in BC

As of May 1, 2023, the start of Mental Health Week in Canada, Dr. Hasina Samji and Dr. Evelyn Stewart have released the Improving Youth Mental Health and Well-Being During the COVID-10 Recovery Phase in BC report. The top three recommendations in the report are: 

  1. serve underserved populations better
  2. improve collaboration among mental health partners
  3. enhance social and emotional learning strategies in schools and community settings

The 13 recommendations were informed by data collected by the Personal Impacts of COVID-19 (PICS) Survey and the Youth Development Instrument, scientific literature, interviews with youth and two deliberative dialogues that included representatives of four provincial ministries, education, health, the non-profit sector, parents and dozens of young people.
