OUR TEAM
Our team is comprised of a multidisciplinary group of researchers, mental health professionals, knowledge mobilization experts, community organizations, students and young adults (mental health consumers and non-mental health consumers). The project is lead by researchers from University of Manitoba, York University, McMaster University, Brandon University and Brock University.
All phases of the project are informed by the voices of young adults and community organizations.
