    #003 - Measuring Youth Mental Health - with Dr. Skye Barbic

    Ever stopped to think about how we actually measure mental health, especially for young people? It’s not exactly like checking your temperature — it’s way more complex and personal. So, how do we really know if what we’re doing is making a difference to people's mental health? What’s the secret sauce behind asking the right questions and tracking progress in a way that really matters? Let’s dive into the fascinating (and sometimes surprising!) science of measuring youth mental health, and discover how it can totally change the way we understand and support the well-being of young people. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Skye Barbic, Assistant Professor in the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to talk about how we measure mental health. Dr. Barbic takes us through the challenges in tracking mental health, why it matters, and how youth-led and participatory approaches could reshape the way we support and care for youth. It’s a conversation that’s as practical as it is inspiring, showing us that mental health measurement is fundamental in supporting young people and really understanding what works.

    Have you ever just been through something tough, felt vulnerable, and needed to vent with a friend but found yourself with no one available? What if, at that moment, you had a support network available for you through WhatsApp?

Join us in this conversation with Dr. Victor Ugo on lived experience and advocacy, the importance of peer support, and engagement of your own community in designing mental health interventions.
