Description

This document provides the Yukon Government’s 10-year strategy for addressing mental wellness in the Yukon. The strategy aims to increase seamless mental health, trauma and substance use services with equitable access, a full continuum approach, and need-appropriate service delivery in a culturally competent and responsive manner. The strategy defines four strategic priorities, with objectives and actions identified in each of these priorities: 1) promotion and prevention, 2) service delivery, 3) system performance and access, and 4) innovation and research. It also articulates actions to respond to the TRC's Calls to Action. The framework identifies valuing cultural competency, cultural safety and Indigenous knowledge as priorities for action.
