“A sense of community.” A qualitative descriptive study on how to build relationships and rapport with people with lived/living experience and caregivers engaged in mental health and substance use hea…
Engaging people with lived/living experience (PLLEX) and caregivers (-C) is becoming more widely adopted in mental health and substance use health research. Their engagement meaningfully improves the relevance and impact of research outcomes. Yet, authentic engagement can be difficult to achieve without building and maintaining strong relationships with PLLEX-C.

Writing Patient Engagement Effectively Into Grant Applications
Engaging people with lived/living experience and caregivers in research (also known as ‘patient engagement’ or ‘patient and public involvement’) has many benefits to research, to the community, and to the people involved in the process [1]. Engagement is increasingly valued by many funding bodies [2, 3] as being best practice when possible. However, funding barriers have been described as getting in the way of authentic engagement [4]. It is ther…

BACKGROUND: People with lived/living experience and family/caregivers (PLLEX-C) can be engaged in mental health and substance use health research in roles such as advisors, collaborators, and co-researchers. While there is a substantial body of research describing the barriers and facilitators to effective lived experience engagement, the actual contributions that PLLEX-C are making to the research remains under-explored. This qualitative descrip…

However, PWLE/F engagement is inadequately reported on in mental health and/or substance use research papers. OBJECTIVE: To understand what PWLE/F and researchers perceive are important components to report on related to engagement in mental health and/or substance …
Walking Alongside
Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was introduced into Canadian federal legislation in 2016. Mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition (MI-SUMC) is currently excluded from eligibility; such exclusion is scheduled to expire on March 17, 2024. Irremediability, capacity, quality of life, autonomy, family involvement, and healthcare system constraints have been debated intensively. Recent studies have not explored the views of family me…
Searching for relief from suffering
Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was introduced into Canadian legislation in 2016. Mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition (MI-SUMC) is excluded from eligibility; this is expected to change in 2024. Incurability, intolerable suffering, capacity to make healthcare decisions, and suicidality have been publicly debated in connection with mental illness. Few studies have explored the views of persons with mental illness on the intro…
