Co-designed with parents by Drs. Leslie Roos and Lianne Tomfohr-Madsen, our research team is based in the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM) under the PRIME research theme (Partnering in Research Innovation in Mental health).
– BEAM Indigenous Project: Led by University of Manitoba Clinical Psychology PhD student Sydney Andersen, this project co-creates adaptations to the BEAM program with Indigenous Elders, service providers, and community members to increase alignment with Indigenous cultural values, teachings, and practices.
– The Maaminosewin Wellness Reflection (MWR): A wholistic, medicine wheel-based assessment tool developed by an Indigenous advisory council to facilitate discussions about wellbeing with Indigenous youth and families. It supports service providers across mental health, education, healthcare, child welfare, and justice systems.
Requested Deliverables:
