“…Despite the existence of similar research in the United States and the United Kingdom, very little research and programming have been made available and explicitly tailored to the needs of Black youth residing in Canada (Taylor and Richards 2019). Moreover, the barriers and facilitators identified for Black youth in other contexts may not necessarily apply to Canada due to differences in healthcare system delivery (Maticka-Tyndale et al 2016) and in the ethnic makeup of Canada's Black population (Fante-Coleman et al 2019). Thus, the purpose of this scoping review is to address the gap in existing research concerning access to mental healthcare for Black children and youth who reside in Canada.…”

“…Moreover, though necessary, the reduction of the African diasporic populations to simply "Black" in this scoping review has implications. Much work has been done to affirm the diverse diasporic cultures and socio-political histories of African, Caribbean and Black people in Canada (Fante-Coleman et al 2019;Maticka-Tyndale et al 2016) and the authors are wary of oversimplifying and essentializing the "complex, blurred and sometimes blended" experiences and realities of this population (Chambers et al 2014). However, the defining of populations is somewhat constrained by the methodology of scoping reviews (Chambers et al 2014).…”

There is evidence to suggest that Black children and youth in Canada face disproportionate challenges in accessing mental healthcare. Thus, the objective of this scoping review was to map current literature on the barriers and facilitators to care for Black youth in Canada. Both academic articles and gray literature published between January 2005 until May 2019 were reviewed. Six databases were searched for relevant academic articles: CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, EBSCOhost, Social Science Citation Index, and Applied Social Sciences Index & Abstracts. Gray literature was sourced from community recommendations and Google. Thirty-three (33) sources met the inclusion criteria. Data were coded and analyzed using a thematic analysis framework. Barriers to care for Black youth were identified and occurred at multiple levels of society including systemic (i.e., wait times, poor access to practitioners, geographical challenges and financial barriers to care), practitioner-related (i.e., racism and discrimination from providers, the inability to provide culturally competent care and a lack of organizational support) and personal and community-related barriers (i.e., internalized stigma and stigma from community). Support from family and friends, as well as a good relationship with providers, were noted as facilitators. The findings of this review suggest that Black children and youth face many barriers to accessing the Canadian mental healthcare system despite its purported universality. An increase in funding, expansion of the universal healthcare system to include mental health, and concerted effort on delivering culturally competent care are requisite to facilitate access to care for this population. Further research should focus on Black youth, be rooted in community-based research, and explore intersecting identities in the context of mental illness.

“…The African descendent diaspora in Canada is comprised of many people of different ethnicities and countries of origin (Fante-Coleman, Wilson, Marcotte, McKie & Travers, 2019 ; Maticka-Tyndale et al, 2016 ). Briefly, African-Canadian refers to those who have recently migrated from continental Africa in last few decades.…”

Purpose The experiences of African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) Canadians are seldom explored in the Canadian context. Family physicians act as a gateway to the rest of the healthcare system and are necessary to provide proper patient care. However, Canada’s history with colonialism may impact the socio-cultural context in which patients receive care. Method 41 participants from Waterloo Region, Ontario, were engaged in eight focus groups to discuss their experiences in the healthcare system. Data were analysed following thematic analysis. Results Style of care, racism and discrimination and a lack of cultural competence hindered access. oor Inadequate cultural competence was attributed to western and biomedical approaches, poor understanding of patients’ context, physicians failing to address specific health concerns, and racism and discrimination. Participants highlighted that the two facilitators to care were having an ACB family physician and fostering positive relationships with physicians. Conclusion Participants predominantly expressed dissatisfaction in physicians’ approaches to care, which were compounded by experiences of racism and discrimination. Findings demonstrate how ACB patients are marginalized and excluded from the healthcare syste Iimplications for better access to care included utilizing community healthcare centres, increasing physicians’ capacity around culturally inclusive care, and increasing access to ACB physicians.
