On Tuesday, December 5, Dr. Salinda Horgan will deliver a presentation entitled, “Practice-based research to transform service and support environments: Advancing participation, independence, and well-being for individuals affected by or at risk of mental health disability”.  The presentation will take place from 1:00pm - 2:00pm in the LDA Building, Room 008.

Dr. Horgan’s research focuses on multilateral partnership strategies between health sectors (e.g., primary care, mental health, & community health) and locations (e.g., hospital, community) to enable innovation in healthcare for individuals who experience or are at risk of mental health disability. Her current projects include the development and examination of interprofessional / intersectoral models of collaborative knowledge and practice sharing; assessing the feasibility, acceptability and utility of assistive technologies; knowledge transfer to support the work of caregivers; and developing health promotion interventions to promote positive alcohol-use and mental health on campus.
