What is it?
IN-ROADS (International Network for Research Outcomes in Adolescent Depression) is a research project that looks into which outcomes (things that changed with treatment, like a person's energy levels or mood) matter most when treating youth depression. This project includes youth, family members, doctors and therapists. Researchers tend to measure outcomes that they think are important, meaning different researchers measure different outcomes.

Our Goal:

Join the Health Equity Impact Assessment (HEIA) Community of Interest for its next webinar, "Missing voices: Listening to people with lived experience to create a more equitable and effective pandemic response".

The Excellence through Quality Improvement Project (E-QIP) is hosting an amazing free virtual conference, QI Innovations: Understand-Pivot-Change, set for Tuesday, April 13.   I am going to attempt to do the keynote. LOL.

Keynote Presentation: Listen. REALLY Listen. (The Cornerstone of QI).

Hi All:

During this time of uncertainty, peer support is more important than ever to maintaining mental wellness.

CBC recently aired an episode of a show called ‘You Can’t Ask That’.  This episode has people living with schizophrenia answering questions about their experiences. Click here to watch the CBC Gem video and share with your networks.

Following overwhelming interest in our last Ask the Expert, we are bringing back our lived experience panel for Through Our Eyes Part 2.

This will be a  live discussion with Heather D’Alessio, Harrison Cohen, Sarah Lee and Ilyas Khamis to better understand the diverse experiences of young people around cannabis and psychosis.

In April 2020, The Lancet Psychiatry, Mental Health Innovation Network, MHPSS.net and United for Global Mental Health launched a webinar series designed to provide policy makers and the wider health community with the latest evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and how to address it.

This presentation seeks to show how the lived experience of addiction reflects the neuroscience that informs us by matching the presenter's lived experience with information from The Surgeon General's Report on Alcohol, Drugs and Health, published in 2016. The presenter will demonstrate how this may also inform treatment.

For our latest Ask the Expert, we’re hosting a live discussion with Heather D’Alessio, Harrison Cohen, Sarah Lee and Ilyas Khamis to better understand the diverse experiences of young people around cannabis and psychosis.
Our panelists will be answering your questions, so come join the conversation!

Pour notre prochain Demandez à l’expert.e, nous discuterons avec Heather D’Alessio, Harrison Cohen, Sarah Lee et Ilyas Khamis afin de mieux comprendre la diversité d’expériences qu’ont les jeunes par rapport au cannabis et à la psychose.
