INTRODUCTION
There is increasing interest in youth advisory councils (YACs) within the mental health and addictions (MHA) system; however, little is known about methods to ensure diversity of perspectives on these councils. Diverse perspectives are critical for ensuring that youth MHA organizations are equipped to support youth needs.
METHODS
A youth-led YAC recruitment initiative was developed and implemented at a GTA-based youth MHA navigation service: the Family Navigation Project.
RESULTS
Specifically, this paper highlights the efforts of three youth staff and volunteers who championed a YAC recruitment plan focused on promoting equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI) and accessibility, youth engagement (YE), and lived experience/expertise (LE).
DISCUSSION
This paper is written from the perspective of the youth recruitment team and provides important insights for MHA services interested in ensuring EDI, accessibility, YE and LE on a new or existing YAC, and researchers studying YE in MHA care.
引言
心理健康与成瘾（MHA）系统内对青年咨询委员会（YACs）的兴趣日益浓厚；然而，对于确保这些委员会观点多样性的方法却知之甚少。不同的观点对于确保青年心理健康与成瘾组织有能力满足青年需求至关重要。
方法
在大多伦多地区一个以青年为主导的心理健康与成瘾导航服务机构——家庭导航项目中，制定并实施了一项由青年主导的青年咨询委员会招募计划。
结果
具体而言，本文重点介绍了三名青年工作人员和志愿者的努力，他们倡导了一项青年咨询委员会招募计划，该计划侧重于促进公平、多样性、包容性（EDI）和无障碍性、青年参与（YE）以及生活经历/专业知识（LE）。
讨论
本文是从青年招募团队的角度撰写的，为有兴趣在新的或现有的青年咨询委员会上确保EDI、无障碍性、青年参与和生活经历/专业知识的心理健康与成瘾服务机构，以及研究心理健康与成瘾护理中青年参与情况的研究人员提供了重要见解。
