Knowledge mobilization is the process of getting the right information to the right people in the right format and at the right time to help people make informed decisions.

One way that Mobilizing Minds shares information, or mobilizes knowledge, is by creating ways for people to learn about our research on young adult mental health. The materials below provide information on our research:
