ABSTRACT
In Canada, there has been an effort to address youth mental health through various initiatives and investments, although mental health struggles among young Canadians continue to increase. Despite these challenges, there is also recognition of the strength and resilience of youth, as well as the increasing empowerment and engagement of young people in shaping mental health support systems. In this article, the authors explore the role of leadership in facilitating the co-design and implementation of a comprehensive continuum of care, leveraging the Stepped Care 2.0 framework, to facilitate effective and sustainable youth mental health support systems.
