Caring Minds: Youth, Mental Health and Community is a joint York University/University of Victoria knowledge mobilization project intended to promote social innovation informed by the latest scholarly research. It provides middle and secondary school teachers in Ontario and British Columbia with innovative, interdisciplinary teaching units that can be integrated into the classroom. Community-informed curriculum materials, for students in Grades 7 to 12, challenge learners to consider mental health issues from multiple perspectives and to explore themes of difference, diversity and discrimination.
There are four teaching units : Understanding, Experiencing and Equity; Self-Determination and Activism; Housing, Homelessness and Poverty; and Well-being, Health Care and Treatment. There are lessons and resources for each unit.
