Teenmentalhealth.org is a project of the Sun Life Financial Chair in Adolescent Mental Health, a partnership between Sun Life Financial, Dalhousie University and IWK Health Centre.
The Chair functions in a knowledge enhancing capacity by systematically collecting, evaluating, interpreting, translating and disseminating scientifically-validated information about adolescent mental health to advance the understanding of mental illness and to improve the disability caused by mental disorders in young people.
The Chair's vision is to help improve the mental health of youth by the effective translation and transfer of scientific knowledge.
Our model is to use the best scientific evidence available to develop application-ready training programs, publications, tools and resources that can be applied across disciplines to enhance the understanding of adolescent mental health issues.
Dr. Stan Kutcher (Chair holder) and his team are working to create, develop and deliver nationally and internationally recognized research, education and clinical programs by collaborating with health care providers, policymakers, schools, the business community, non-profit organizations and the general public.
