Youth Mental Health Resources

Together with youth ambassadors, CAMH has created downloadable resources to help youth understand more about mental health and wellbeing, including substance use. Resources have also been developed for caregivers and supportive adults to help start a conversation with youth about these important topics.

Our tools have all been co-created with CAMH’s clinical and education team alongside youth ambassadors to ensure they reflect informed research with a youth perspective.

Self-care activities may add meaning to your health while also supporting your life. They can also help reduce the effects of negative stress on your life.
