Building Partnerships

Our work is shaped by Local Advisory Panels

Each Cundill Centre project will consult a Local Advisory Panel—a panel of local stakeholders and may include youth, families, service providers and policy makers.

Panel members provide feedback on the appropriateness and clinical relevance of Cundill projects, from the development phase to the knowledge dissemination phase.

Local advisory panels will leverage the expertise of existing stakeholder networks and groups that are involved with the Child, Youth and Emerging Adult Program at CAMH.

Existing networks include:

• YouthCan IMPACT Youth Advisory Group
• National Youth Advisory Committee (NYAC)
• McCain Youth Engagement Initiative Team
• YouthCan IMPACT Family Advisory Group
• Mental Health and Addiction Youth Network (MAYN)
• Addictions and Mental Health Ontario (AMHO)--Youth Community of Practice
• Healthy Young People Everywhere (HYPE) knowledge exchange network​

We are a part of a network of mental health centres, research enterprises and knowledge translation and exchange systems that are affiliated with CAMH and that focus on child and youth mental illness.

Our partners include:

• Margaret and Wallace McCain Centre for Child, Youth & Family Mental Health
• Slaight Family Centre for Youth in Transition
• Medical Psychiatry Alliance
• Child and Youth Mental Health Collaborative
• Portico: Canada's Mental Health and Education Network
• CAMH’s Provincial System Support Program (PSSP): Evidence Exchange Network (EENet)
