Foundations: Definitions and concepts to frame population mental health promotion for children and youth
Author: National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health (2017)
Archives: Resources
We feature resources that fill knowledge gaps for advancing child and youth mental health promotion, and are nominated as most relevant and useful by those engaging with the Hub.
Current resources are tailored to a start-up phase for projects. We anticipate the topics and types of resources will evolve as the Hub learns more about interests from the MHP-IF projects and others with shared interests. We will continue to limit resource selections to those that will advance knowledge development and exchange, and nominated as most relevant and useful by those engaging with the Hub. We welcome nominations for resources; for the Hub to consider posting, or providing links to other websites.
