Attendees will hear how co-creation techniques were leveraged in the development of Resources Around Me tool to transform the experiences of youth into tangible service evolution. This included engaging youth to identify navigation challenges, collaboration with youth advisors on the discovery, design and implementation phases of the re-design, and engagement with young people and caring adults through prototype feedback sessions. Kids Help Phone’s free digital tool – Resources Around Me – hosts an ever-growing list of 40,000 supports available to young people, including physical resources, virtual supports and a verified database of trusted mental health mobile apps. This added functionality, leveraging apps from a partner database (Mindapps database), allows young people to access safe mobile apps that connect them to supports and self-directed activities all vetted by trained, youth utilizing a robust evaluation framework. Our evaluation methodology for resources focuses on including ones that are accessible and inclusive - financially, physically, socially, digitally and educationally. We also incorporate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion into our curation process through creating safe spaces and opportunities to connect with community representatives from equity-deserving communities (including Indigenous, Black and Newcomer communities) to gather suggestions for resources/ services to include. In order to further amplify and support young people’s system navigation through digital spaces that they are already visiting, we are also leveraging a partnership-first strategy and embedding technology for youth community organizations and mental health agencies across Canada to implement the tool right within their own websites. We’ve had over 87,000 visits to the Resources Around Me page since its launch in September 2024, and to further amplify the implementation of this tool, we are working with over 50 community organizations across Canada to embed Resources Around Me within their own websites.
