"With equitable investments in mental health promotion, prevention and treatment, we can redress unjust differences in our population’s mental health"

Dr. Hasina Samji and colleagues from the BC Alliance for Monitoring Mental Health Equity published an article on March 22, 2022 in The Conversation providing four urgent calls to action.

BCCDC survey shows young people hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic

These findings come from a new study by the B.C. Centre for Disease Control that looks at how young Canadians under 30 have been negatively impacted in the last year and half. Full report here.

Young adults hit hardest by pandemic: report

A new report from the BCCDC shows the impact of the pandemic on those aged 18 to 30. As Kier Junos reports, young adults emerged as a group that suffered disproportionate impacts across a range of sectors.

Young people disproportionately impacted by pandemic: New report

A new report suggests that the pandemic will have long-term impacts on millennials.

The report from the BC Centre for Disease Control summarizes just how much how COVID has disrupted the lives of 18 to 29 year olds.

It also outlines actions to help young adults recover.

The pandemic is really stressing youth out, studies show

COVID-19: Two-thirds of B.C. youth struggling with mental health during the pandemic, new research shows

Findings from the PICS study show that two-thirds of children in B.C. reported having mood swings, anxiety or suicidal thoughts during the pandemic, up from just one-third before the arrival of COVID-19.

Gen Z Is Increasingly Developing Anxiety About Climate Change

Dr. Samji was quoted in the Verywell Health article, "Gen Z Is Increasingly Developing Anxiety About Climate Change".
