Grant: CIHR Café Scientifique Program -Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (Ontario)

This Cafe event is a collaborative discussion that will focus on best practices for conducting patient-oriented research (POR), specifically within forensic mental health care settings. Through bringing together a panel of innovative POR researchers, patient partners, knowledge users and a diverse audience, the event will collaboratively highlight and explore the preliminary evidence that has emerged concerning POR in forensic contexts. This may include the influences of stigma, marginalization, power differentials, security practices, and the development of collaborative and trusting relationships. The event will also foster the development of professional relationships for future POR at Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care and other mental health facilities.
