Helping guide the direction of our work
Our strategic advisory council brings together members with experience across child and youth mental health, substance use health and addictions services, leadership, finance, governance, and lived and living expertise.
The council helps inform organizational priorities, partnerships and long-term planning while providing insight into emerging challenges, opportunities, and sector needs.
Meaningful system improvement takes collaboration, trust, and a willingness to learn from different perspectives and experiences.
