Digital Mental Health for Youth: What Works, What’s Missing, and What’s Next?

Description

*This session will include live captioning from English into French

Dr. Kaitlin Di Pierdomenico is a postdoctoral visitor in the Department of Psychology at York University and with DIVERT Mental Health. Her research centres on mental health equity, examining how governance, funding, regulation, service system design, and community participation shape access, quality, and rights in care. Grounded in historical institutionalism and Mad Studies, her work investigates reform processes with an emphasis on person-centered, community-driven approaches. She bridges mental health reform and digital interventions, with a commitment to building inclusive systems that address the social and structural determinants of health.

In this session, Dr. Kaitlin Di Pierdomenico will share findings from two connected studies that are supported through her postdoctoral fellowship between Strong Minds Strong Kids, Psychology Canada and DIVERT Mental Health. Together, these studies provide a clearer picture of what we know so far about universal (Tier 1) digital supports for young people — and where the biggest gaps and opportunities remain.
