The Cundill Centre is sharing our knowledge and expertise to improve care for children and youth with depression.
Since there is often a significant gap between research and practice, one of the Cundill Centre’s focuses is knowledge translation — the meaningful implementation of research findings into clinical care. We do this many ways, including:
Products for clinicians, youth, caregivers and other healthcare professionals, such as decision-aids, handouts, worksheets and online tools
Partnerships on local, provincial, national and international levels, with a particular focus on knowledge co-creation with youth
Activities such as our Measurement-based Care Community of Practice, speaker series, conferences, workshops and meetings
Communicating through our website, newsletters, videos and social media
To learn more about knowledge translation, please watch this video created by the Cundill Centre’s knowledge translator, Renira Narrandes.
Join the Measurement-based Care Community of Practice
The Measurement-based Care Community of Practice meets every three months, except during the summer, to discuss relevant topics, have guests with expertise present to the group, and collaborate. To join, send an email to cundill.centre@camh.ca with the subject "Join MBC CoP."
Our speaker series consists of internal CAMH presentations as well as some offered externally. If you would like to be added to the email list to find out about upcoming speakers, contact cundill.centre@camh.ca.
