NorthBEAT Collaborative
#northbeatcollab
Youth with psychosis in Northwestern Ontario do not get the help they need when they need it.
We're changing that.
The NorthBEAT Collaborative —funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation Youth Opportunities Fund and sponsored by the Centre for Applied Health Research at St. Joseph’s Care Group— was a strategic systems collaborative that worked to make it easier for youth with psychosis to get the services they need, when they need them. We improved pathways to care and services, and built the capacity of multi-sector providers to connect, learn, and make improvements in the communities they support.
The NorthBEAT Collaborative was funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation Youth Opportunities Fund, and sponsored by the Centre for Applied Health Research at St. Joseph’s Care Group.
