Delighted to join Minister @Carolyn_Bennett, Graham Boekh Foundation, @CIHR_IRSC colleagues and many others this morning to announce funding for #IntegratedYouthServices - a shining example of collaboration among youth with #livedexperience, service providers, and researchers.
Replying to @CIHR_IRSC
#IntegratedYouthServices is a community-driven approach that is transforming the delivery of health and social services to young people in Canada. The network will connect IYS sites so that data, research, and experiences are shared and used to make evidence-based decisions.
