Get Involved

The TIME4MH Initiative is committed to advancing research and innovation in mental health literacy, with a focus on strengthening understanding, early identification, and support across healthcare, education, and community settings.

Our work is grounded in collaboration with educators and school systems, healthcare professionals, students and youth, and diverse communities and community youth serving organizations. Whether you are sharing your perspective, helping guide innovation, or participating in research, your voice and experience play an important role in shaping this work.

Current Opportunities

Key Informants - Elementary Mental Health Literacy Resource (EMHLR)

We are currently seeking key informants from Chinese, Black, and Indigenous communities with experience in education and/or mental health. Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers are especially encouraged to participate

Participants will contribute to a culturally responsive review of the EMHLR and share insights on how it can be adapted to better support students from underrepresented communities. Insights gained will help inform future adaptations for additional communities.
