The journey of obtaining a diagnosis and treatment for children and youth with ADHD can be challenging for all those involved. Focus groups were conducted with parents (n = 21), educators (n = 76), and healthcare providers (n = 39) to gather information regarding perceptions of this journey, especially as it relates to treatment utilization and adherence. Three cross-cutting categories emerged: the impact of socio-economic variables, the lack of integrated and continuity of care for ADHD, and the stigma surrounding ADHD and treatments. The results help to determine what is needed to support families to facilitate successful treatment for their child with ADHD.

Frequent emergency department users with mental illness or addiction often struggle to find the services they need. A pre-test/post-test design assessed outcomes for these individuals after participating in a novel community-based stepped-care program delivering individualized intensive case management services. Results indicated improvement in overall functioning and severity of anxious and depressive symptoms.

People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are typically excluded from assertive community treatment (ACT) teams, the intensive model that typically serves people with serious psychotic and mood disorders. Nevertheless, many people with BPD are on ACT teams for clinical comorbidity or other reasons. Suitability and ability of ACT to provide their care is understudied. Our scoping literature review shows a limited body of research, with strong but mixed opinions on this dilemma, but notable incorporation of training and skills (e.g., dialectical behavioral therapy) into ACT may improve care for this population whose presence on ACT teams is a clinical reality.

Partnering with patients and family caregivers (commonly referred to as patient partnership) is increasingly common in health services, research, education, and policy. In the field of mental health, service user involvement intersects with distinct historical trajectories and as such, may take on unique forms. This review draws on a broader systematic review of literature on patient partnership. We ask: How does literature on patient partnership in mental health and addictions describe the history of service user involvement and the roles of service users? Two broad frames for service user involvement are identified, which offer contrasting perspectives about the history, value, and power relations involved in service user involvement. Future research can consider implications of these perspectives, and opportunities for synthesis.

Canadian Muslims are a growing population at an increased risk of addiction who have been found to underutilize health services. The Canadian-Muslim Addiction Program (C-MAP) offers an innovative intervention serving as a practice for public-health education to transform addiction care in this population by reducing stigma and increasing help-seeking.

To support population mental health, mental hygiene propounds a universal public recommendation. March 2022 was the inaugural mental hygiene challenge where community members were invited to spend 10 minutes a day throughout the month engaged in mental hygiene activities. The outcomes suggest daily mental hygiene supports mental well-being.

This study explored factors impacting caregiver burden (CB) in families of youth with mental health and/or addiction (MHA) issues through a cross-sectional survey of Ontario caregivers (n = 259). Zero-order correlations explored caregiver, youth, and service factors and CB. Regressions explored contributions of significant factors to the variance in CB. Barriers to services, number of youth symptoms, and waitlist status significantly predicted CB. The specific barriers that were significantly associated with CB were service costs, service availability, and youth motivation to participate in services. Tailoring interventions and policies to reduce service waitlists and barriers may alleviate CB and improve youth and family outcomes.

Using a series of nationally representative cross-sectional surveys, this study shows that younger Canadian adults (aged 18–34) rated their own mental health positively (as “very good” or “excellent”) less often than older adults (i.e., 35+), both before and during the pandemic. Also, younger adults’ positive mental health ratings declined particularly sharply following the onset of the pandemic, with declines of more than 25 percent between the pre-pandemic (60.9% [95% CI 59.3-62.4]), and the pandemic (e.g., 43.8% [95% CI 38.7-49.0]) periods. Young adult women appeared particularly vulnerable, but immigrant youth showed signs of resilience.
本研究通过一系列具有全国代表性的横断面调查显示，无论是在大流行之前还是期间，加拿大年轻成年人（18-34 岁）对自己心理健康的正面评价（"非常好 "或 "优秀"）都少于年龄较大的成年人（即 35 岁以上）。此外，在大流行开始后，年轻成年人对自己心理健康的积极评价急剧下降，在大流行前（60.9% [95% CI 59.3-62.4]）和大流行期间（例如，43.8% [95% CI 38.7-49.0]）之间的降幅超过 25%。青壮年妇女似乎特别容易受到感染，但移民青年则表现出了抗病能力。
