Research and education play an important role at our Centre, as we are committed to advancing best practices, contributing to knowledge and building capacity in children’s mental health.
These are exciting times for research collaborations between our clinical services, The Hospital for Sick Children and our community partners. We are undertaking a review of our research framework and priorities and we look forward to making an important contribution to the field of child and youth mental health.
We also provide education placements across clinical disciplines and within some of our administrative functions. We are proud to support young professionals in the development of their knowledge and preparation for their careers. Equally, we are grateful for the learning and creativity that they bring to our teams.
Our research program has been revitalized by a renewed approach that will integrate research across clinical services, reflecting our commitment to better measurement of outcome and impact of our services. Through the work of the research team, we are expanding our capacity to generate important research and contribute to the evidence base in child and youth mental health. If you wish to collaborate with GH-CCMH on a research study or any other data collection initiative, please click below and provide us with more details of your project.
We have a long and dedicated history to the teaching and training of future health-care professionals. We offer many educational opportunities to a diverse and talented group of trainees and students who enrich the clinical environment for our staff and clients.
We are affiliated with the University of Toronto and other leading universities and colleges in Ontario. Every year, over 100 learners come from multiple disciplines and serve clients and their families in all Centre programs, reaching children throughout Toronto and beyond. See our academic partners.
Dr. Uliaszek is working with our clinical teams to build a research and evaluation program that will increase our capacity to measure clinical outcomes and impact on client care.
