COVID-19 and Mental Health Initiative: Networking Tool

Effective knowledge mobilization is essential to maximize the impact of the COVID-19 and Mental Health Initiative. The table below has been designed to connect decision-makers, knowledge users and other stakeholders with researchers funded through the Knowledge Synthesis: COVID-19 in Mental Health and Substance Use funding opportunity.

Researchers can provide stakeholders with high-quality evidence and recommendations to support the needs of priority populations, including: people who use drugs; children, youth and families; older Canadians; health care workers, first responders and public safety personnel; and vulnerable and at-risk groups, among others.

Note: To be included in the Networking Tool, please complete this short survey. Your information will be added to the table below during the next update.
