Integrated Collaborative Care Teams for Youth With Mental Health and/or Addiction Challenges (YouthCan IMPACT)

An integrated, collaborative pathway of needs-based services. ICCTs will offer a wide variety of services, including Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) on a scheduled and walk-in basis, care navigators, various clinician-guided interventions, psychiatry, nurse practitioner services, access to primary care, and peer support, all co-located in youth-friendly, community-based clinics. For each intervention, standardized intervention protocols will be used.

Standard out-patient treatment provided at each participating hospital site. This typically entails referral to a psychiatrist at the participating hospital, who will provide assessment and treatment, with referral to appropriate services, guided by local treatment protocols.
