Overview of Integrated Youth Services

IYS is transforming youth mental health and substance use services in communities across Canada and helping to ensure that young people have equitable access to the range of services they need, when they need them. It’s a dynamic pan-Canadian and international movement that aims to build effective, youth-focused and integrated services for mental health, substance use and related issues. IYS is founded on key principles that can be implemented in different models across jurisdictions and types of communities. Principles of IYS include:

· Youth and family participation in the design and implementation of services.

· Integration of services (mental health, primary care, addictions, counselling, peer support, hospitals, education, social services, including housing, justice, employment) across service providers.

· Continuity of services for youth and young adults (e.g., 12 to 25 years) – this can include integration of child and adult services that focus on this age group.

· Clearly identified, easily accessible points of care in the community that provide rapid access to services – no service refusal, no referral needed, and access to high quality, youth-appropriate, evidence-informed mental health services (could be through integrated service hubs, safe spaces, schools, universities, etc.)

· Ensuring equitable access, including for vulnerable populations of youth, and culturally appropriate care.

· Stepped care models – evidence-informed, appropriate levels of care, at the right time by the right provider to ensure efficient utilization of services.

· Incorporation of online portals and other technologies that facilitate alternative access to information and services.

· Strong research and evaluation to guide continuous quality improvement and measurement of the impact of the transformation of services.

Many IYS networks across Canada focus on building models that integrate the following services: Mental health services (including psychological services and counselling), Youth and family peer support, Substance use services, Primary care (including sexual health), Employment, education & training supports, Social services (including housing), and a variety of recovery programs (e.g., recreation, the arts, life skills, etc.). All IYS services aim to be culturally appropriate, youth informed, relevant, barrier free, timely, and accessible. IYS is also based on building and growing a Learning Health System.
