The first half of 2025 has been a busy and energizing time for Integrated Youth Services (IYS) in Canada! The year started with IYS networks gathering at IAYMH to share their exciting work and expertise, opening the door to a year filled with growth for the pan-Canadian IYS CC and IYS Data platform teams alongside expansion and exciting updates for many IYS jurisdictions.

As a team that is dedicated to improving health equity by centering the needs of youth facing systemic barriers, including Indigenous youth — our team wanted to share their personal reflections, and express intentions and ongoing dedication to reconciliation.

The IYS LHS Summit fostered a space where diverse perspectives and expertise could come together to set the stage for collaboration on the development of a multi-IYS LHS. Hear about the event from four individuals who attended the event from across Canada!
