You’re invited to join us for an inspiring virtual event that highlights how Waypoint is redefining research—by placing patients at the very heart of discovery.

Waypoint puts patients at the centre of mental health care, involving them not just as subjects, but as partners — in every step of mental health research. From project planning and policy development to real-world application, patients’ voices have guided our efforts in forensic settings, addiction care, geriatric psychiatry, and more.

Why Attend?
  • Hear from Dr. Christopher Canning, Waypoint Research Institute’s Director of Research & Academics, about current and future Waypoint research
  • Learn about the role that the Patient/Client and Family Council plays to ensure that patient voices are heard from its Executive Director, Jodie Erb
  • Be inspired by stories of patient partners sharing how this collaboration has shaped their care and built hope and the impact their involvement has in the success of research projects.

Waypoint’s approach to research brings together patients, families, clinicians, and researchers as true partners—reshaping how studies are designed, ensuring equity and trust, and creating tools that are transforming mental health care across Canada.
