Research Program

Research at CAMH is an integrated part of the organization. We share CAMH’s vision, mission, and values, and we are committed to fulfilling our strategic goal to “Discover, Share and Apply New Knowledge.”

CAMH is committed to collaboration with scientists, not only in our community but also across Canada, on timely and relevant research. In some instances, our research addresses global concerns related to mental health and addictions issues. Our staff work in partnership with industry, with CAMH scientific, clinical, and administrative staff, and with locally, nationally, and internationally recognized neuroscientists, clinical, and social scientists to promote and implement positive change in all facets of how people receive care.
