Strengthening youth-engaged evidence for effective policy

Led by McGill’s School of Population and Global Health, an international and highly cross-disciplinary group of researchers have come together with policy makers and youth organizations globally to transform the way in which youth mental health research is conducted by supporting interdisciplinary, resilience-focused and context-sensitive approaches, with attention to diverse, meaningful and ethical youth engagement. ListenUP! members engage in collaborative, youth-engaged, research projects aimed at addressing gaps, strengthening the youth mental health and well-being evidence base, and producing guidelines for assessing and developing future policy and approaches.
