Launch of Youth Mental Health Fund
On November 18, 2024, Health Canada announced the launch of the Youth Mental Health Fund, aiming to enhance mental health services for youth across Canada. With $500 million allocated over five years, this fund will support community organizations in providing tailored mental health care for underserved populations, including Indigenous youth. The initiative encourages proposals for projects that integrate with existing health systems, with a submission deadline of January 22, 2025. This development is part of a broader effort to improve mental health outcomes and ensure equitable access to services for young Canadians.
