Abstract

To enhance consistency in practicing meaningful engagement to improve services, the Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health co-developed quality standards on system-level youth and family engagement with agency representatives, researchers, youth, and families. These two quality standards encompass statements that describe high-quality engagement based on evidence.
