The Centre engages in and promotes knowledge exchange strategies to enhance mental health services for children and youth in Ontario, nationally and internationally. “Knowledge Exchange” refers to the range of activities that lead to and sustain evidence-informed practice, advocacy and discussion.

Success is:

• Easy access to credible research evidence in a variety of formats – for service providers, parents or caregivers, youths, researchers or policy-makers.

• On-going implementation, utilization, and evaluation of credible evidence.

• Informed public dialogue on child and youth mental health and reduced stigma.
