Hi, I m Lawrence originally from Hong Kong.  Since coming to live in Toronto a few years ago, I have been an active Volunteer at the Schizophtenia Society of Ontario.  On a regular basis, I facilitate a 4-session family education course on coping with Psychosis.  I also participate in family support groups both at SSO (multicultural) and at Hong Fook Association (Chinese).  At this juncture, I am keen to learn as much insights as I could, about the Cognitive-Psychological elements underlying symptoms and behaviours, so that they could be shared with Families coping in their daily caregiving.  I believe apart from basic comprehensive knowledge about Psychosis, Families also need skills to empower them to cope with caregiving, and play meaningful roles as Partners of Recovery.  I am keen to learn and sharing with Families.  My background has been divided into public service, including policing, and business innovation for small and medium size entreprises.  I would like to devote my post-retirement career reincarnation to service in the MH circles.  It is an entirely new horizon for me.

Hi everyone,

My name is Julie, I've been working as the Knowledge Exchange Lead for CAMH's PSSP in the Northwest region (Thunder Bay office) for just over a month now. I've been steadily climbing the KE learning curve and this forum has been very helpful so far - I'm looking forward to engaging with everyone! My background is in health policy and research (mostly midwifery and maternity care, Indigenous health care, and health regulation) but I am already seeing the connections in mental health and addiction issues. Happy to be here and looking forward to some fruitful discussions!

Hi I'm David! I've just joined the Provincial System Support Program as a Knowledge Exchange Lead with the Toronto (GTA) team. I've been working at CAMH for a few years now in a clinical role and am excited about being able to start addressing some system issues through our community projects.

In particular I'm passionate about incorporating health equity considerations into our work in ways that are concrete, actionable, and informed by intersectionality. Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Hello,

I am a community pharmacist and a Practice Advisor with the Ontario College of Pharmacists.  Looking forward to further learning from the group and sharing tips with colleague pharmacists I interact with during my travels.

Hello, glad you joined, actually critical for many people to bridge with pharmacy and address some of the many issues in community based care, moving from our institutional silo's to use a well, very well worn phrase. 

Sorry to ask you a pithy question, not trying to scare you off with work, but has your college developed any: working papers or tried pilots to address issues like:

  • clozapine medication collaboration with community based pharmacies
  • and working with outpatient programs on medication reconciliation?   

I'm curious how the bridging and collaboration, partnerships are going with community based pharmacies as highly complex to address accountability, mistakes, safety.

thanks, Bill

Hi everyone. I am parent who has lived experience with family members living with depression. I also have children who deal with anxiety and suicidal thoughts, and have accessed mental health services through the hospitals and the community.  I am a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Social Work Program(BSW) at Ryerson University. I am currently volunteering at Peel Children's Center on 2 Family Engagement Committees. I am trying along with other caregivers and service providers to create a framework that will hopefully improve service delivery and accessibility and honor the voice and knowledge families and youth hold when it comes to their experience of mental health.
