We introduce the innovative components of a primary care pathway for child and youth mental health (MH) in Ontario. We share our experiences with developing and implementing the pathway that supports inter-provider communication, standardized screening, timely access to community MH services, and is adaptable to different services and settings.

Organizational practices to advance racial equity are needed to address the systemic nature of racism. Implementation science frameworks offer a comprehensive approach when implementing complex initiatives. We describe the development of a tool to assess organizational practices in advancing racial equity (OPARE). Findings on the acceptability, reliability and preliminary validity are presented based on 98 responses from child and youth mental health agencies across Ontario. The OPARE shows promise as a valid and reliable organizational assessment tool for helping plan, implement and evaluate racial equity efforts in community mental health settings.

Rural residence has been identified as a risk factor for suicide, especially for men. Little qualitative research exists on rural suicide, which might help deepen understandings of prevention strategies within rural places. Therefore, virtual focus groups were held across six Canadian provinces to give voice to rural community members and service workers about suicide prevention. Barriers to accessing services and the need to strengthen rural support networks were discussed. Enhancing peer support was highlighted as a strategy to better address the needs of rural Canadians.

Mental health peer support was one of the key recommendations of the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s Workforce Advisory Committee (Cyr et al., 2016 [2012]) and highlighted as one way to transform the mental health system in Canada. This mixed methods study explored the work experiences of mental health peer support workers across Canada and their perceptions of integration within mainstream mental health services. The findings revealed that role confusion, stigma, lack of support to practice authentically and peer drift challenged the full integration and participation of peer support workers within Canada’s mental health system. Recommendations to mitigate these challenges are suggested.

The concept of social capital may shed light on challenges experienced by employees with mental health conditions (MHC) in sustaining employment. This article presents findings from a qualitative descriptive study exploring the concept of workplace social capital and its impact on how employees with MHC negotiate workplace accommodations. The findings reveal that social capital consists of various elements that impact how accommodations are negotiated in the workplace; some are dynamic and can be built, rebuilt, and spent such as employee self-confidence, reputation, and likeability. Future research is needed to explore how social capital can be developed to facilitate the accommodation process.

A scoping review of research about suicidality in rural and remote Canadian communities, published between 2009 and July 2020 was conducted by searching Embase, Medline, CINAHL, PsychInfo, SocIndex, Geobase, and PsycArticles databases. Included articles were reviewed and charted using data extraction. Thirty-nine Canadian, non-Indigenous articles met inclusion. Most publications were based on quantitative research (23). Apart from one intervention study, articles were prevention focused, with suicidality risk and protective factors noted to be of particular interests. The most frequently referenced suicidality risk factor was rural residence. It is anticipated that results of this review will inform future research, particularly the need to include qualitative and mixed methodologies, protocol, and evaluations of interventions as well as postvention research, with further consideration of different Canadian settings and populations.

We aimed to investigate non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), help-seeking, and cultural responses to NSSI among a diverse sample of university students in Canada. NSSI prevalence was examined in a sample of students (n = 5,450; 63.9% women), which yielded a follow-up sample of ethnic minority students with a history of self-injury (n = 101; 81.2% women), to study service use and cultural responses to NSSI. Asian, Southeast Asian, White, and multiracial backgrounds were at the most risk for NSSI engagement. Three categories of responses to NSSI emerged: responses embedded in stigma, emotional, and constructive responses. Implications for cultural differences in help-seeking and attitudes towards NSSI are discussed.
