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

is a five-year community collaborative research study conducted in partnership with the Centre for Grief and Healing - Bereaved Families of Ontario (Halton/Peel). The study aims to understand the gaps in mental health systems for Indigenous youth in the GTA. Through storytelling interviews, it will capture the experiences of Indigenous youth and conduct an institutional ethnography to inform systemic change.

The project focuses on developing a curriculum that teaches school-aged children about colonialism, reconciliation, and Indigenous peoples in Canada.
