Halumbe Wellness Project: Supporting the Mental Health of Black Youth in Ottawa
The overall aim of this project is to promote the mental health and well-being of Black youth in the Ottawa School District, particularly considering the Covid-19 pandemic. Through culturally relevant mental health interventions, the project aims to increase knowledge of the unique mental health needs and challenges faced by Black youth in Canada among teachers, administrators, and parents. This includes raising awareness of the role that the social determinants of health play in shaping barriers to access. By promoting resilience and building capacity among the Black community, the program will help to reduce stigma and improve access to mental health support services for Black youth.
Lead organization: Centre for Resilience and Social Development
Location: Ottawa, Ontario
