Summary

This trial tests the Family Navigation Project (FNP), a service that pairs youth ages 11 to 29 with mental health or addiction concerns—and their families—with a navigator who helps them find and access appropriate resources. The study is expanding FNP to northern Ontario and will measure whether it leads to faster access to care, better coordination, and improved quality of life. Researchers will collect both numerical data (like wait times) and personal experiences to understand how well the model works in a northern community.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Family Navigation Project (FNP) - a navigation service that helps youth and families find and access mental health and addiction resources
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a navigation service improves access to care and quality of life for youth with mental health or addiction concerns, especially in underserved areas.
What could go wrong
This is a pragmatic trial testing an existing service in a new region, so results may not apply elsewhere. The study relies on self-reported outcomes, which can be subjective.
