Program overview
To address a widespread need for increased access to addiction and mental health support across the Atlantic region, IWK Health has developed The Learning Link, a hub of expertise for Maritime mental health clinicians and community partners. The Learning Link is helping mental health clinicians share knowledge and train community partners across the region and beyond.
The Learning Link
Under the umbrella of the Learning Link (a broader training and knowledge-mobilization program), the IWK has most recently worked to build mental health expertise across more of the hospital’s nursing staff to ensure that, as staffing configurations change, young people always have access to the right mental health support.
How Family of Support Funding Has Helped
In 2023, Family of Support funds:
- Enabled collaboration and innovation among Maritime mental health clinicians, community partners, and patients;
- Helped turn evidence into action for the mental health and well-being of children, youth and their families;
- Researchers, policymakers, and care teams to reach youth with mental health concerns, where and when they need it most.
