PARticipating in My Mental Health Care was designed to help young people in Ontario and across Canada find and access mental health and addiction services and support best suited for them. This toolkit includes a variety of information, reflective activities, and worksheets that can be personalized to support young people as unique, active participants along their mental health or addiction care journey.

This toolkit was co-designed by mindyourmind and a group of young people and caregivers in Ontario. The concept and contents of this toolkit were based on a research project led by CHEO, the CHEO Research Institute and the Knowledge Institute on Child and Youth Mental Health and Addictions. It was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
