As child and youth mental health agencies apply the recommendations from the national mental health strategy, a strong focus has been placed on the implementation of evidence-informed practices to ensure the best outcomes for those they serve. Although a considerable amount of research exists on the implementation of best practices and the key factors to successful implementation, far less exists in terms of concrete strategies to support such initiatives. This article describes a unique initiative in Ontario that provided implementation supports and funding for agencies. Lessons learned and implications for bridging the gap between research and practice are explored.

BACKGROUND Most mental health disorders, including depression and anxiety have their onset during childhood. Rising prevalence rates of mental health difficulties in young people are asking for new, innovative approaches to tackle this problem. Digital interventions designed for the school context that can address common risk factors and symptoms such as emotion dysregulation present exciting opportunities to enhance existing youth mental health provision. OBJECTIVE The present research explored the use of a new app to support emotion regulation in children for the school context. METHODS Intervention components derived from a combination of public engagement events, user-centred design workshops and evidence-based methods based on cognitive-behavioural therapy. Four primary schools participated in a 3-month exploratory feasibility trial with 144 children and 6 teachers. Children (aged 10-12) accessed the intervention on tablets in the classroom and at home. Outcomes regarding usability, acceptability and implementation were assessed through digital user data, self-report questionnaires and interviews. RESULTS Results show that children and teachers reported positive experiences with the app and that the exercises helped them to calm down and relax. Children reported better emotional understanding. Areas of improvement are identified relating to design and technology issues, as well as future design goals in relation to more complex aspects of emotion regulation as a construct. CONCLUSIONS The study provides important insights regarding the design, development and evaluation of a new app for children to support their emotion regulation abilities in the school context. Our results demonstrate that mental health apps represent a promising means to facilitate effective youth mental health provision in and outside of the school context. Important “lessons learned” are shared to support other researchers and clinicians on similar journeys. CLINICALTRIAL N/A

As clinicians at a university-affiliated health centre faced with youth mental health and substance use concerns, we reached out to the local community for guidance. We partnered with community leaders to explore how to best understand the issues and engage with the community. Using a community-engaged research (CEnR) approach, we conducted a needs assessment to explore the issues and inform change. We formalised a partnership with the local school and community board, which led to the creation of a Community Alliance. Our engagement efforts allowed us to understand the community more deeply and establish more effective change. Our most successful outcome was the development of a youth mental health and wellness Action Plan which helped direct our strategies moving forward. This article highlights our community engagement activities, processes and lessons learned, which may be of benefit to other academic researchers and clinicians who are interested in CEnR.
