The Canadian youth mental health and substance use (YMHSU) system has moved rapidly over the past year to develop, accelerate, and implement virtual responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to meet the needs of youth and their families. Frayme launched the Virtual Innovations in Care (VIC) Grant program to support learning and understanding about the process of implementing effective virtual services. A total of 8 evidence-generating and innovative virtual solutions were chosen through an open call to receive funding and partner with Frayme to support the scale up, implementation, and evaluation of these innovations.
