Hello everyone,
My name is Aviva. I’m part of the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) team working on a coordinated pan-Canadian approach to prescription drug abuse monitoring, surveillance and reporting.
I’ve really appreciated all I have learned from this community over the past few months, and look forward to learning even more. Thank you!
Welcome Aviva! Nice to meet you!
Welcome, Aviva, happy to see your name on here 
Can't wait to hear about all the exciting work you guys are doing at CIHI.
Welcome Aviva!
I was on the MoHLTC Expert Advisory Narcotics and engaged with many provincial initiatives regarding opioids. (plus I lost my 25 year old son to Oxycontin Overdose almost 15 years ago). Glad you are here to share.
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.
Welcome Lawrence! I see a lot of links here between yourself and people in the EENet Connect community! Can't wait for the discussion to ensue
Welcome Lawrence!
Hi There: I am a Community Support Worker with the Canadian Mental Health Association and am interested in watching the Webinar about Crisis Intervention because that is part of my job here at the agency and all the training is the better.

Welcome Mary-Leah!
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 Julie! Nice to e-meet you.
Great to have you on board, Julie!

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!
David
