AGENDA GAP
What is agenda gap?
Agenda Gap is a dynamic research and intervention initiative. The core aim of Agenda Gap is to empower youth with the knowledge and skills needed to advocate for policies that foster mental health and equity for youth and their communities.
​
Agenda Gap provides youth with the tools and opportunities to actively engage in the policy-making process, aligning decisions with their needs and advancing mental health and well-being.
​
The program originates at UBC Wellstream, although is able to be offered in the Tri-Counties virtually with the help of amazing local facilitators!
