Incorporating the voices of our youth into new and existing services, programs, and communication materials has become invaluable at Pathstone. That’s why we have created a Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), to give our Youth Advisors a chance to create change and raise awareness about children’s mental health - directly from the source.

From ages 14 to 25, our diverse committee participates at Pathstone by:

• Assisting with the creation of child/youth friendly content
• Identifying barriers to service from a youth’s perspective
• Promoting awareness and accessibility of our services to children and youth across the Niagara Region
• Representing youth perspectives and opinions during committee meetings and at Pathstone events
• Sharing creative ideas with their group members
• Identifying emerging youth issues through their own personal and interpersonal experiences

Impactful YAC Projects at work!
