DESCRIPTION:Earlier\, easier\, better: How youth mental healthcare is being
  transformed in Canada and India\n\nBy Srividya Iyer  (Assistant Professor
 \, Department of Psychiatry\; Associate Member\, Department of Epidemiolog
 y\, Biostatistics and Occupational Health\, McGill University)\n\nThe rapi
 d ageing of their populations has led many advanced Western economies to i
 nvest much hope in the future contributions of their youth. In the economi
 cally developing world\, where populations are mostly young\, the youth re
 present an abundant\, vibrant resource to whose development entire nations
 ’ prospects are tied. Thus\, besides being a moral imperative\, the wellbe
 ing of young people is a matter of public concern across the world.\n\nMen
 tal health is an especially salient aspect of wellbeing for the young. Thi
 s is because most mental illnesses arise in the period spanning adolescenc
 e and early adulthood and can\, with delayed or deficient treatment\, disr
 upt the pursuit and attainment of important social and economic milestones
 . Fortunately\, youth also represents a window of opportunity in which tim
 ely\, high-quality treatment could stave off the worst long-term effects o
 f mental illness.\n\nThis presentation will provide an overview of the inc
 reasingly globally acknowledged need to ensure that the mental health need
 s of young people are identified early and addressed with timely\, accessi
 ble\, high-quality services that yield better outcomes. With illustrative 
 examples of mental health services innovations and research from Canada an
 d India\, it will highlight core principles and strategies for improving y
 outh mental health services worldwide.\n\n \n
