Our researchers study a variety of mental health topics affecting children and youth, including depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and more. Through research, we strive to better understand child and youth mental health, informing treatment supports and resources for families and caregivers. Researchers also explore how environments and inequities affect the mental health and well-being of various communities, including newcomers to Canada.
