En route vers la Phase 3 (2015-18)
Le 7 novembre 2014, nous avons envoyé un formulaire d’Application à l’Agence de Santé Publique du Canada (ASPC) afin de soumettre notre candidature en vue d’obtenir une extension des fonds, nous permettant ainsi de prolonger le projet de recherche jusqu’en 2018 (Phase 3). Cette demande contenait des Lettres de Soutien provenant de nos 5 partenaires des Premières Nations. Nous négocions présentement avec de nouvelles communautés et des partenaires additionnels. La prochaine étape est de répondre aux questions posées par un panel d’experts qui ont été réunis par l’ASPC; la téléconférence aura lieu entre le 1er et 4 décembre 2014.

McGill University is pleased to announce additional funding from the Public Health Agency Canada (PHAC) for the Culturally-Based, Family-Centered Mental Health Promotion for Aboriginal Youth Project. The funding allows the project to build on the ongoing intervention to develop a toolkit for cultural adaptation of interventions for mental health promotion.
As part of PHAC’s Innovation Strategy, McGill University, Connect the Dots British Columbia and Healthy Living Manitoba will partner in this additional project that will involve a survey of cultural adaptation and mental health interventions in Canada leading to a toolkit on cultural adaptation for government agencies, communities and non-governmental organizations.
While the project focuses on cultural adaptation in work with Aboriginal communities, it will also share insight with the wider mental health community and will be beneficial for organizations working with immigrant, refugees and other diverse communities.
