The mental health system in Canada presents barriers to those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of colour. The experiences of these communities aren't reflected in this system, which creates challenges in accessing available and appropriate supports. Hosts Brandon and Sufiat explore this topic with insights from Alisha Sharma, member of The New Mentality's Youth Action Committee. The New Mentality is a not-for-profit network that amplifies the voices of youth to advocate for creating change within the mental health system. They recently published a report, Adjusting The Spotlight, which shines a light on the challenges BIPOC youth face in the mental health system. Brandon, Sufiat, and special guest Alisha identify the system barriers and gaps and provide examples of ways youth can get engaged in dismantling these barriers and bridging these gaps.
