Mental health is complex, nuanced, and deeply personal people need to see the value in any service before sharing their data.
Ensure users can define their privacy thresholds; people should feel they control their data.
People expect higher-touch service when it comes to mental health; they expect that investment from themselves and the service provider will be needed to deliver meaningful results
Young Canadians recognize that they are facing mental health challenges but are unsure about the value that pursuing mental wellness will bring into their lives and need external motivation to persuade them to explore the services that are available for help.
Young Canadian Workers aged 18 to 34 who face mental health challenges need a better understanding of the availability, necessity, and value of mental health benefits that exist to help them because lack of knowledge hinders them from getting the help they need.
A social media campaign about helping young Canadians to provide a safe space to freely open up and seek help.
