Thriving Minds is here to help you
For youth, by youth
At Thriving Minds, we prioritize you. Our goal is to make mental health services simple, inclusive and easy for you to access. You deserve to feel heard, supported and confident when seeking help for your mental health.

If talking to adults feels intimidating, our resources give you tools to explore your options and take the first steps independently. And we get it—repeating your story can be exhausting. That’s why we’re working to streamline care, so you only have to say it once.

CARIBOU by CAMH (Youth)
The CARIBOU Pathway provides an evidence-based approach to treating depression in youth and uses a measurement-based care framework for assessing and monitoring their progress. As an integrated care pathway (ICP) for outpatient youth ages 13-18 (with potential for use up to age 24) with depression, a structured treatment plan for the youth maps the treatment process from start to finish. The treatment is also collaborative, so youth are involved in decision-making, as are other people who support them, such as family members and their care team. The pathway includes seven core components.
