Finding the right mental health support can be confusing and stressful. That is why the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), and The Garry Hurvitz Community Centre for Mental Health at SickKids (GH-CCMH) are partnering to launch the Thriving Minds Information Hub - a new website that brings together trusted mental health information, programs, and services for children, youth, families and health-care providers.
“Our vision is to create a truly integrated system of mental health care, where children, youth, and their families can easily navigate pathways to the support they need,” says Dr. Louise Gallagher, Chief, Child and Youth Mental Health Collaborative, SickKids & CAMH and lead of Thriving Minds.
“By offering reliable, up-to-date information and resources, we’re building a foundation for sustainable, coordinated care that empowers young people and those who support them, every step of the way.”
The Information Hub features dedicated pages for youth and caregivers, guidance on topics like mood, anxiety, substance use, eating disorders, as well as quick access to crisis support—crafted by experts at CAMH, SickKids and GH-CCMH, and informed by patient partners. Whether you want to learn about accessing services or looking for self-help tools, the hub brings everything together on one trusted platform.
In June 2024, the three organizations signed a memorandum of understanding committing to jointly reimagine access to care for children and youth in Ontario – identifying building an information hub to help patients, families and referrers navigate the system as the first step.
Thriving Minds is a collaboration that brings together CAMH, SickKids and GH-CCMH on a singular mission: to work towards a seamless mental health care experience for children, youth and families.
