Innovations to address the mental health crisis
KHP = 35+ years of converting data and technology into unparalleled e-mental health support
The Canadarm. Shopify. FirstVoices. Cohere. Slack. Imaginative mindsets connected to Canada have generated revolutionary innovations and startups, including Kids Help Phone, the country’s first and only free, 24/7, multilingual and confidential e-mental health service for youth to Feel Out Loud. We need the tech and entrepreneurship community, young people and researchers to be a part of the most transformational advancements for youth with the KHP Innovation and Applied Research Accelerator for Youth Mental Health (acceleratorKHP).
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among youth in Canada. That’s not “fine.”
Together, we can help address the growing mental health crisis. acceleratorKHP will help transform the e-mental health landscape for youth in Canada through the most unique application of technology, data, innovation, research and partnerships. It’s a herculean effort. And it’s what young people and the future demand.
