Adolescent depression is prevalent, but treatment can be difficult to navigate and ineffective. A multi-disciplinary team of researchers at the Cundill Centre for Child and Youth Depression developed the CARIBOU Pathway to address the need for scalable and evidence-based treatment for adolescent depression. Read more on the CARIBOU Pathway here.

To ensure the Pathway reflects the needs and interests of youth, I supported the team in designing mechanisms for youth engagement. This included: (1) developing a youth engagement strategy, (2) organizing and facilitating a youth advisory group, (3) co-designing educational material with young people*, (4) liaising communications across various stakeholder groups.

Since development, the Cundill Centre has launched a certificate program in delivering the pathway and is implementing the pathway in multiple community-based centres around Ontario.
