Youths at risk, as well as new directions in promoting their resilience, were the focus of discussions among healthcare professionals in the mental health field at the JGH Department of Psychiatry’s 11th annual Research Day in April.
Clinical practitioners, researchers, nurses, and social workers familiarized themselves with research that is being conducted at the JGH. The aim of the event is to share the expertise of the Department of Psychiatry by disseminating the knowledge that is acquired through the efforts of its researchers.
