This toolkit provides an in-depth resource to support and enhance Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) services in vast geographical regions with dispersed populations.

New Research Snapshot developed by the Understanding Mental Health and Well-Being in Later Life project at PSSP explores the disparities between sexual minority and heterosexual older adults' mental health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I was reading Standardized Tools: An Exploration of Implementation Barriers and Enablers, a guidance on implementation in organizations https://www.eenetconnect.ca/to…arriers-and-enablers and for sure found a lot of wisdom on the approach to implementation.  The description of the process in the first vignette rings so true to applying to everyday practice, so thanks for the inspiration.

The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health is working on a toolkit on Supporting 2SLGBTQ+ Students on Campus, and we are looking for collaborators! This project aims to provide staff on Ontario campuses with tools and strategies to build evidence-based services and shift campus cultural structures to better support the needs of members of 2SLGBTQ+ communities.

The topics that will be covered in this project include:

Guarding Minds @ Work is a widely used survey designed to measure 13 psychosocial dimensions of the work environment that have the potential to affect worker mental health. But a joint study by the Institute for Work & Health (IWH) and Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW) found the survey unable to measure each of the 13 dimensions in isolation.

The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health (CICMH) recently launched a new infosheet on anger and mental health.

This infosheet outlines the characteristics of anger, how we evolved to experience anger, how to express our anger, ways that we can transform our relationship to our own anger, ways that we can support someone with their anger, and more.

On June 2nd, a webinar was hosted that explored changes in alcohol-related policy over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics included why alcohol has sometimes been framed as an “essential good,” arguments for and against making alcohol easier to access during government-enforced lockdowns, and what the likely consequences are of various policy changes that have taken place in Canada.

The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health (CICMH) is completing the writing phase for our Sexual Violence Response Toolkit, and we are currently looking for reviewers to help us edit the document. If you play a role in campus sexual violence response and would like to support the creation of this toolkit as a reviewer, please submit your information in the following survey by Tuesday, May 31st.
