Outil d'établissement de liens pour le concours de subventions de fonctionnement : Évaluation et science de la mise en œuvre sur la santé mentale des jeunes
Aperçu
Le concours de subventions de fonctionnement « Évaluation et science de la mise en œuvre sur la santé mentale des jeunes » permettra de produire des données probantes de haute qualité et exploitables pour accroître l'accès équitable à des interventions, à des services et à des systèmes de santé mentale de qualité, renforcer leur mise en œuvre, accroître leur potentiel d'expansion et, ainsi, améliorer l'état de santé mentale des jeunes au Canada. Pour ce faire, le concours appuie la recherche sur les interventions de santé mentale pour les jeunes sous l'angle de l'évaluation ou de la science de la mise en œuvre. Par « interventions de santé mentale », on entend les interventions, les programmes et les pratiques visant à prévenir ou à atténuer les symptômes associés à un trouble de santé mentale, à la consommation d'une substance psychoactive ou à un trouble neurodéveloppemental, y compris les interventions cliniques, psychologiques ou pharmacologiques, les interventions de proximité et les interventions en milieu scolaire.
L'outil d'établissement de liens est conçu pour faciliter la collaboration entre : a) les organismes qui mettent en œuvre des interventions de santé mentale pour les jeunes; b) les équipes de recherche misant sur l'évaluation ou la science de la mise en œuvre.

Researcher or research team member | My research interests are at the intersection of public health informatics, and applied artificial intelligence , spanning both uninjured and injured populations. I study how data-driven methods can characterize health and healthcare across sociodemographic and socioeconomic gradients. I am interested in the evaluation of youth mental health interventions with a particular interest in equity, i.e., whether interventions deliver comparable access, quality, and mental health outcomes across intersecting groups, including youth marginalized by socioeconomic status, sex, race, disability, geography, or migration status. Digital health interventions and AI-enabled tools are of special interest to me, where algorithmic fairness auditing can test whether these tools perform equitably rather than reproducing existing disparities. | Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health interventions (General pool) Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health Indigenous-led interventions pool (Indigenous-led pool) Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health interventions supported by the Youth Mental Health Fund pool (YMHF-supported intervention pool) |

Researcher or research team member | A holistic mental health and coping group program for youth and families called the HEALTHY Group, based on a mind, body, spirit approach that includes evidence based cognitive behavioural and mindfulness strategies, body based regulation including trauma informed yoga, and strengthening one's spiritual strengths and resources. It is an 8 week 2 hr per week program that has shown very good program evaluation results on anxiety and depression scores (moving from clinical to normal however, no formal clinicial research has been done yet). It is a cost effective pre treatment or in treatment approach. | Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health interventions (General pool) Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health interventions supported by the Youth Mental Health Fund pool (YMHF-supported intervention pool) Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health Indigenous-led interventions pool (Indigenous-led pool) |
The program offers youth psychoeducation, practice of various coping strategies and an opportunity to create their own unique coping menu to utilize. I previously ran 5 groups with 40 youth who anectodally offered they found it very helpful. Parents were asking to be able to take it themselves seeing their children's benefits. The youth stated it was good to try various things and talk about it with other youth, and they learned a lot about their own mental health, and how to support peers with anxiety and depression. They particularly appreciated learning about and having their spirituality attended to. | |||

| Xuan Zhao, PhD (en anglais seulement) Co-Founder & CEO, Flourish Science; Research Scientist, Stanford University xuan@myflourish.ai California, USA |
Member of organization implementing youth mental health intervention(s) | Flourish Science is seeking Canadian research and implementation partners to conduct independent evaluation and implementation research on Flourish, an evidence-based, AI-powered mental health intervention for youth and young adults. Flourish has already been evaluated in large-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs), including a published multi-institutional, longitudinal RCT demonstrating improvements in positive affect, resilience, belonging and social well-being, and reductions in loneliness, as well as a second large-scale randomized trial examining depression and anxiety outcomes. We are interested in building on this efficacy evidence to study real-world effectiveness, implementation, and scale in Canadian settings. Areas of particular interest include: (1) mental health and well-being outcomes; (2) equitable reach, engagement, and sustained behavior change across diverse youth populations; (3) implementation, adoption, and scalability across postsecondary and other youth-serving settings; (4) access to care, help-seeking, service navigation, and organizational capacity; and (5) measurement-informed stepped care and AI-to-human warm handoffs, including how AI can recognize evolving needs, complement existing services, and facilitate timely connection to appropriate human support. Research and evidence | Flourish: Evidence-Based AI-Powered Mental Health Intervention for Youth and Young Adults | Flourish is an evidence-based, safety-first, AI-powered digital mental health intervention for prevention and early intervention among youth and young adults, developed by Stanford-trained psychologists. Its AI companion, Sunnie, provides personalized, just-in-time support grounded in psychological and behavioral science to strengthen emotion regulation, resilience, stress and anxiety management, healthy behavior change, and help-seeking. Flourish combines conversational AI with evidence-based activities, longitudinal assessment and progress monitoring, proactive support, and institution-specific resource navigation and AI-to-human warm handoffs to complement existing mental health services and facilitate timely connection to appropriate human support. | Flourish has been evaluated in two large-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs; >1,600 participants), including a multi-institutional longitudinal RCT published in New England Journal of Medicine AI and a second large-scale RCT evaluating depression and anxiety outcomes. The next stage is independent real-world effectiveness, implementation, adaptation, and scalability research across diverse Canadian youth and postsecondary settings. | Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health interventions supported by the Youth Mental Health Fund pool (YMHF-supported intervention pool) Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health interventions (General pool) |
Flourish is a research-ready, AI-native mental health intervention designed for prevention and early intervention. Its AI companion, Sunnie, provides personalized, just-in-time support grounded in psychological and behavioral science, including emotion regulation, stress and anxiety management, resilience, behavior change, and help-seeking. The platform also supports longitudinal measurement and institution-specific resource navigation to connect users with appropriate human support. Flourish has an established research and implementation infrastructure and has been evaluated in two large-scale randomized controlled trials involving more than 1,600 participants. A multi-institutional, preregistered longitudinal RCT (N=486) is published in New England Journal of Medicine AI and found significant benefits for positive affect, resilience, belonging, community connectedness, and loneliness. A second large-scale randomized trial (N=1,137) evaluated Flourish as an early intervention for depression and anxiety. We are seeking Canadian academic researchers with expertise in youth mental health, digital mental health, implementation science, health services research, pragmatic trials, and/or health economics, as well as Canadian postsecondary institutions and youth-serving organizations interested in serving as implementation partners. Flourish can contribute the established intervention, technical and implementation support, existing research evidence, and research infrastructure. We welcome rigorous independent evaluation, including multi-site studies across diverse Canadian settings and populations.

Member of organization implementing youth mental health intervention(s) | We are interested in evaluating accessible, community-based mental health interventions for autistic and neurodivergent youth aged 12 to 25, particularly youth experiencing anxiety, emotional dysregulation, communication challenges, behavioural distress, or barriers to accessing conventional mental health services. Priority areas include integrated psychotherapy and behavioural support, caregiver coaching, culturally responsive care, and coordination across mental health, autism, education, and community services. We are also interested in implementation outcomes, including intervention feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, equitable access, staff training, sustainability, and successful adaptation across home, clinic, virtual, and community settings. | Smile4Therapy Integrated Mental Health and Behavioural Support for Autistic and Neurodivergent Youth | A community-based, neurodiversity-informed model designed to support autistic and neurodivergent youth aged 12 to 25 who experience anxiety, emotional dysregulation, functional communication difficulties, behavioural distress, or barriers to accessing conventional mental-health services. The model integrates individualized counselling, positive behavioural support, emotional-regulation and coping-skills training, caregiver coaching, and coordination with families and other service providers. Services may be delivered in clinic, home, community, or virtual settings according to the youth’s needs. The proposed research would evaluate implementation, accessibility, acceptability, fidelity, sustainability, and youth and family outcomes. | The model is currently being delivered in routine community practice through Smile4Therapy’s multidisciplinary services. Its clinical components are established, but it is at an early evaluation and research-readiness stage. A research partnership is sought to clearly define the intervention’s core components, develop fidelity measures, select validated outcome measures, and conduct a rigorous implementation and effectiveness evaluation. | Evaluation and/or implementation science for youth mental health interventions (General pool) | Smile4Therapy is seeking an eligible Canadian research team with expertise in youth mental health, autism and neurodevelopmental disabilities, evaluation or implementation science, mixed-methods research, and health equity. The organization can contribute a real-world community service setting in Ontario, clinical personnel, access to potentially eligible youth and families, workflow integration, youth and caregiver engagement, practice-based data, and knowledge-user leadership. We are particularly interested in partnering with an independent researcher who can lead the scientific design, ethics process, outcome-measure selection, data analysis, and CIHR application. The proposed partnership would initially clarify the intervention’s core components and research readiness, followed by a rigorous pilot, feasibility, or effectiveness evaluation. |
