Lessons Learned: Implementing UK-Developed Interprofessional Simulation Training Courses in a Canadian Setting.

Objective: In response to the need for practitioners to improve their skills in integrating mental and physical healthcare, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) (Canada) invited education specialists from Maudsley Simulation (UK) to pilot two of their existing interprofessional simulation courses on the mental-physical interface in Toronto. Participants' experiences as well as the courses' educational impact were evaluated.

Methods: Participants completed pre-and post-course questionnaires, a 2-week follow-up questionnaire, and individual interviews 6 months after course completion.

Thought Spot: Co-Creating Mental Health Solutions with Post-Secondary Students.

It is difficult for the nearly 20% of Canadian 15- to 24-year olds reporting symptoms to seek the help they need within the current mental health system. Web-based and mobile health interventions are promising tools for reaching this group; having the capacity to reduce access-to-service barriers and engage youth in promoting their mental well-being. A three-phased, iterative, co-creation developmental approach was used to develop Thought Spot, a platform to better enable post-secondary students to seek mental health support.
