Headspace, an Australian Youth Mental Health Network: Lessons for Canadian Mental Healthcare

CONCLUSIONS: Canadians should be wary of large youth programs that operate outside mainstream mental healthcare because of similar dangers such as poor co-ordination with existing government-funded services, duplication of care, the substantial consumption of resources, and limited evaluation of outcomes. As Access Open Minds is a clinical research project, there is the opportunity for Canada to evaluate the efficacy of the model before further adoption by governments.PMID:33953763 | PMC:PMC8056954
