Research at a glance: Youth Views on Collaborating to Support Individuals with Mental Health and Addiction Issues in the Criminal Justice System

From 2016 to 2019, the Department of Justice Canada reached out to young Canadians for their views on justice issues. The youth selected for these youth engagement projects were not provided with specialized training or information, but their opinions and perspectives on justice issues can inform policy decisions, including public information campaigns.
