Hello everyone!

I'm from the Alberta Rural Development Network, an Alberta-based group looking to conduct a second coordinated effort to map out homelessness in rural communities. We are looking for rural communities who have front-line services (food banks, shelters, libraries, etc.) and are interested in getting tangible data on what kind of housing/services their residents are looking for. 

BounceBack Ontario is now available on the Ocean eReferral Network. This means that you will be able to send referrals to the BounceBack program directly from your EMR instead of by fax.

Hello all, 

The Alberta Rural Development Network is being funded through Health Canada's Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP) to develop a mobile exhibit on cannabis awareness. 

To ensure that we showcase information that is anchored in real experiences, we would appreciate if you can fill out this brief survey on your experience with cannabis (whether you've never tried it, experimented with it, or use it daily). https://forms.gle/USLPeVAnwzjdxfHu7

The research challenge: How might we reduce suicide deaths among youth and young adults living with mental illness, especially psychosis or schizophrenia, in areas where health and social services are limited?

Why this research challenge is important:

Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds.

Young adults living with psychosis or schizophrenia, especially those who live in northern and remote regions of Canada, are at much greater risk of suicide.
