Bridging the Gap: Indigenous Youth Leading the Path to Improved Mental Health Systems

is a comprehensive five-year initiative aiming to enhance mental health

services for Indigenous youth in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Led by the

Centre for Grief and Healing (CFGH) and Finding Our Power Together (FOPT), it

leverages collaborative efforts with stakeholders like the Distress Centres of

Greater Toronto (DCGT) to address systemic challenges in mental health care.

Central to the project are the voices and experiences of Indigenous youth, guiding

research, development, and implementation of culturally responsive mental health

solutions.
