WHAT IS EVERGREEN?

Evergreen is a blueprint that outlines strategies and actions to improve mental health care, promote mental health and maximize the potential of every infant, child and youth living in Canada.

It is a project of the Child and Youth Advisory Council of the Mental Health Commission of Canada.

The Evergreen project is being developed by a dedicated team of individuals from across Canada and around the world with expertise (professional and lived experience) in infant, child and youth mental health.

We need your help, as public input is vital to make sure that Evergreen is meaningful and representative of the needs of Canadians.
