Research to Integrate Services for Individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury, Mental Health, and Addictions: Proceedings of a MultiDisciplinary Workshop

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
12 May 2020

Abstract

We present the findings from a one-day, multidisciplinary meeting to gather feedback for an integrated knowledge translation research project addressing the integration of health services and supports for individuals with traumatic brain injury, mental health, and/or addictions; especially those who experience homelessness/vulnerably housed, intersect with the criminal justice system, and are survivors of intimate partner violence. This meeting brought together persons with lived experience, service providers, decision makers, and researchers, who provided feedback that further refined the research methodology and highlighted existing gaps. This event was successful in inviting collaboration, knowledge exchange and dissemination, and advancing an important knowledge-to-action cycle for this research.

Résumé

Cet article présente les résultats d’une réunion multidisciplinaire visant à recueillir des commentaires sur un projet de recherche portant sur l’intégration des services de santé et de soutien aux personnes souffrant de traumatisme crânien et de problèmes de santé mentale et/ou de dépendances ; particulièrement les itinérants suivis par le système de justice pénale et victimes des violences de leur partenaire. Cette réunion rassemblait des personnes avec une expérience vécue, fournisseurs de services, décideurs et chercheurs susceptibles d’offrir une rétroaction constructive sur la méthodologie de recherche et de mettre en évidence les lacunes éventuelles. Cet événement a donné lieu à des échanges fructueux et nécessaires à la mise en route de ce projet de recherche.
