Improve Mental Health Research for immigrant, refugee, ethnic/racialized Canadians:

Our aim is to plan and develop a culturally safe framework for engaging immigrant and refugee patients in mental health research. We want to work with patient partners to develop a culturally safe framework for future training on how to meaningfully include immigrant and refugee patients in Patient Oriented Research (POR). We will also develop a plan for a POR project together, such as a summary report that can be shared with the community.

More Information:

What’s Involved:
The patient partner will join a research team and provide consultation on factors that shape and or promote cultural safety. This will include up to five research team meetings that will occur over UVic’s secure Zoom subscription and/or by phone.

PVN has really helped us engage with patient partners to improve health services at Northern Health.  It is more and more becoming the norm to include patients in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services.  PVN education and supports, involving patient partners, have enabled us to develop the capacity to include the patient voice to make care better and achieve better health outcomes.
