Mental Health and Covid-19: Knowledge Synthesis to Support and Promote Mental Wellness and Resilience

COVID-19 Research Area(s): Epidemiology & Public Health, Healthcare Delivery & Policy

Our team of researchers, mental health professionals, and people with lived experience, propose to conduct a rapid review of the evidence on home activities and resources that can support mental health during times of isolation. We also propose to conduct an online survey to understand what activities or resources people prefer and will most likely use. Upon completion, study results will be shared with the government, CMHA and the CIHR. We will create a public website to share the results, with selected examples of effective home activities or resources. A research paper will also be submitted for publication.
