BUILDING INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO MEET THE DISTINCTIVE NEEDS OF THE DUAL DIAGNOSIS POPULATION

Are you passionate about youth mental health and substance use system transformation?

An interdisciplinary research team led by Dr. Mary Bartram at the Mental Health Commission of Canada and Dr. Ivy Bourgeault at the University of Ottawa and Canadian Health Workforce Network is working to assess how COVID-19 is impacting the capacity of Canada’s mental health and substance use workforce.

A team of scientists from the Centre for Research in Occupational Safety and Health at Laurentian University is studying the mental health of nurses in northern Ontario during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They're looking for 200 registered nurses and 200 registered practical nurses to fill out an online survey to help with data collection.

The survey asks about a nurse's mental health state prior to COVID-19, as well as throughout the past year of the pandemic.

The Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) is proud to launch a new website to help young caregivers aged 15-25. The new website www.youngcaregiversconnect.ca was  designed in collaboration with, and for, young caregivers and offers information and resources that address their unique needs.

Conference Dates: March 17 - July 14, 2021
