The Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC), located in Whistler, British Columbia, is conducting a needs assessment for the Indigenous Youth Ambassador (IYA) program attendees from September 2021 to March 2022. The IYA program is an immersive cultural and business program that teaches the foundations of business through the lens of a First Nations Museum. The majority of IY in this study live in rural and peri-urban communities. This document describes a mixed methods study of the mental health needs of Indigenous youth conducted as part of the service planning process for a system of care (SOC). Participants include 15 IYA attendees who will participate by filling out a questionnaire and 10 SLCC employees who will participate in an individual interview discussion. The aim of this project is to provide the leadership of the SLCC with data that will help them find ways to support youth with mental health issues in the IYA program, and support applications for external funding. The goal of this youth mental health needs assessment for IYA is to answer these questions.enAvailable to the World Wide WebyouthIndigenousmental healthneeds assessmentproject
