What is our vision, our desired future, our ‘north star’?
Upstream prevention for Canadians that is evidence-informed, sensitive to diverse contexts and cultures, equitable, and sustainable.
Who does the KDE Hub serve?
Our primary audience is projects funded through federal initiatives. These same initiatives also fund the KDE Hub. In addition, we support others who share interests with these projects in advancing mental health, wellbeing and health equity.
The KDE Hub is here to support connections and learning amongst projects and others who are helping wellness flourish in Canada.
What difference will the KDE Hub make?
We contribute to:
- Meaningful new knowledge created within and across projects funded through federal initiatives
- Supportive and mutual learning amongst projects and with others who share their interests
- Stronger systemic supports for optimal mental health promotion in Canada
