Description

Developed through engagement with youth in every region of the Northwest Territories, this action plan is strengths-based, holistic, and grounded in connection to culture. It builds on the 2016 Mind and Spirit Strategic Framework and is guided by four strategic directions: a focus on prevention and early intervention, a recovery-oriented system, personal experiences and outcomes, and a whole of government approach. The action plan addresses the full continuum of services needed to support optimal child and youth mental health, from prevention, to promotion, to early identification, to treatment and ongoing recovery supports.
