Research in the Media

CAMH’s Research Program has been very active in the media.  Since September, we’ve sent out eight press releases announcing exciting updates about pioneering discoveries and innovative projects.  The news items ranged in topics from a $1.7 million research project that will do an in-depth study of involvement in Big Brothers Big Sisters match relationships on the health of Canadian children, to a new depression model that offers a thorough explanation of how the “chemical imbalance” occurs in major depression.

Releasing this information kept our scientists busy with television, radio, and newspaper interviews.  CBC, CP24, CTV.ca, and the Toronto Star were just a few of the media outlets that spoke with our scientist and shared our stories.  Also, one of our press releases was among the ten most downloaded releases in the month of September on Canada Newswire, with a total of 357 downloads on the day it was released.

As Research at CAMH achieves new levels of excellence, we will have even more opportunities to expand the reach and impact of our scientific discoveries.  By speaking with the media, we have an opportunity to educate people about the important work of our scientists, and show how our work is impacting client care today and in the future.
