The Young Canadians Roundtable on Health (YCRH) was created in 2013 in response to the interest generated by the report Reaching for the Top: A Report by the Advisor on Healthy Children & Youth.
Working collaboratively with industry, government, research, health practitioners and families, the Young Canadians Roundtable on Health’s objectives are:
-
To be Canada’s strong youth voice in issues relating to child and youth health
-
To lead youth in creating independent initiatives and policy proposals in the areas of Injury Prevention, Mental Health, Growing Healthy Bodies, and the Environment
-
To create opportunities to support and educate Canadian youth with the goal of improved quality of health in youth across the country
-
To develop new relationships with people and organizations involved in youth health issues
-
To generate national awareness of youth health initiatives
-
Collaborate with partners to advance equity and inclusion in child and youth-related research and programs
