🧠 Navigating youth #mentalhealth care can be overwhelming. That’s why CAMH, The Hospital for Sick Children and SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health have launched Thriving Minds — a new initiative designed to make care easier to access, understand and navigate. Chief of the Collaborative for Child and Youth Mental Health, Dr. Louise Gallagher, spoke with CTV about how Thriving Minds supports young people and families in finding the right mental health care when they need it most by connecting them with available resources. YWHO Executive Director Carole-Anne Chiasson also joined CTV to discuss one of those resources, the Youth Wellness Hubs.

It’s been a year of exciting construction milestones at CAMH. 🚧✨ Our fourth and final phase of redevelopment is on track, and we're seeing the buildings take shape! Each milestone brings us closer to opening the doors to new, welcoming spaces for patients, families, and staff. Stay tuned as this transformation continues. Thank you to the CAMH staff, construction and design partners (special shout-out to our constructor, PCL Construction, for providing us with this footage), who are making this vision a reality. We can’t wait to share more progress in 2026! Learn more: camh.ca/redevelopment #MentalHealthisHealth

The holidays are a time for comfort, connection, and a little bit of joy — and we wanted to capture what that looks like across CAMH. So we asked CAMH staff to share their favourite holiday movies, go-to seasonal foods, and the traditions that help make this time of year so meaningful.

According to the latest CAMH #Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey (#OSDUHS) report, a quarter of students reported being #bullied since the beginning of the school year. On #AntiBullyingDay and every day, let's take a stand against #bullying & #cyberbullying. MORE: https://lnkd.in/dZa3ZFib

There are 3.3 million caregivers in #Ontario alone. For many people on a #mentalhealth or #addictions journey, standing alongside them is someone offering steady, unconditional support. As we move through the holiday season, a time that can bring both connection and challenges, we honour families and caregivers for their resilience, love, and unwavering belief in recovery. Your care makes a profound difference in the lives of the people we support. CAMH stands with you in recognizing the strength it takes to care for someone you love. Looking for guidance or tools?
