The ENCOMPASS-ED project implemented embedded health system navigation and mental health peer support to proactively engage frequent emergency department (ED) users, facilitate linkages to community services, and reduce ED overuse. This model of care is generalizable to other communities across Canada to support reductions in unnecessary and costly ED visits.

In Canada, Indigenous populations have an increased prevalence of psychiatric disorders and distress. Mental health mobile applications can provide effective, easy-to-access, and low-cost support. Examining grey literature and academic sources, this review found three mobile apps that support mental health for Indigenous communities in Canada. Implications and future directions are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to understand physical activity experiences of pregnant and/or parenting individuals (PPI) who have histories of trauma. Utilizing feminist participatory action research, we conducted five focus groups (n = 37) with PPI and semi-structured interviews (n = 10) with service providers. Three themes were generated: (1) poverty and impoverished neighbourhoods limit availability of/ access to physical activity programs; (2) existing physical activity programs are not appropriate/appealing to PPI in this community; and (3) PPI live with multiple fears and judgment that impedes their physical activity. To adequately tackle health inequities, we propose a shift towards trauma- and violence-informed physical activity programming.

We investigated young people’s mental health (MH) and preferences for future MH services early in the Covid-19 pandemic to support user-centered service planning and delivery. We administered a webbased survey to young people living in Ontario. Logistic regressions identified predictors of worsening MH and service preferences among a sample of 1341 participants. 61.1% reported worse MH since the pandemic. Worsening MH was significantly associated with one MH and five sociodemographic factors. Participants’ MH and service preferences aligned well with clinical practice guidelines in that those with a greater self-reported MH need preferred more intensive MH services.

This narrative inquiry consisting of an interview and a series of walkabouts with three persons living with schizophrenia identified five experiences: (1) feeling something was wrong, (2) being diagnosed, (3) a turning point, (4) their life starting over, and (5) achieving a feeling of peace or acceptance. All three narratives identified sense of belonging as the key to understanding movement through these stages. The implications for mental health practitioners are the need for patient access to peer social interactions during the early stages of diagnosis, opportunities for self-determination in care practices, and a greater focus on belonging within hospital settings.

Current research on well siblings of individuals with mental illness focuses predominantly on adult siblings of individuals with schizophrenia, eating disorders, and psychosis. Few studies examine the experiences of young adult siblings of individuals with mood and/or anxiety disorders. We conducted focus groups with 21 post-secondary students, gathering their experiences of living with a sibling with mood and/or anxiety disorders. Our findings highlight the important role well siblings play in their sibling’s care, and the significant health and social impacts of living with a mentally ill sibling, particularly during adolescence. The needs of young adult well siblings of individuals with mood and/or anxiety disorders must be considered in the provision of family-centred care.

This brief report contains a summary version of the proposed action plan to modernize gender, sex, and sexual orientation (GSSO) information practices in Canadian electronic health record (EHR) systems. The plan was co-created by a research team with guidance from the Infoway Sex and Gender Working Group, organizations and communities involved with sexual and gender minorities (SGM), and those with lived and living experiences as SGM. The plan describes seven high level actions needed to improve the principles, approaches, policies, and processes of defining, collecting, organizing, sharing, and using GSSO information in EHRs.

Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche dont l’objectif était de faire l’évaluation des retombées du Programme de Renforcement des Familles (PRF), implanté en 2011 dans deux quartiers défavorisés de la ville de Trois-Rivières. Cette recherche s’intéressait à savoir si l’expérience du PRF a permis aux familles y ayant participé de créer des liens entre elles et, plus globalement avec leur communauté. Les résultats découlant d’entretiens réalisés auprès de 20 parents et de 12 membres de la communauté donnent à réfléchir sur le pouvoir d’agir de ces familles de même que sur celui des intervenants qui les accompagnent.
