Our Impact

In a few short years, we have seed-funded important work in every province and two territories through grants, studentships and fellowships. We are committed to supporting mental health research in Canada, including Indigenous research, and prioritize the engagement of people with lived experience throughout the research process.

We exist as part of a broader ecosystem: we build bridges between research and community, lead collaborations and facilitate partnerships with stakeholders. The successful results of this approach can be seen and felt in the impact profiles and highlights below.
