Roles and Responsibilities: <\/strong>The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) is a non-governmental organization that provides national leadership on substance use and to advance solutions to address alcohol- and other drug-related harms. CCSA was created in 1988 by an Act of Parliament and is one of a number of Pan-Canadian Health Organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCSA\u2019s current Strategic Plan focuses on three primary strategic goals and accompanying priorities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Advancing evidence-based knowledge by conducting and synthesizing high quality research;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Driving collaboration efforts across Canada and internationally; and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Bridging the gap between what we know and what we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CCSA embraces a spirit of openness, collaboration and partnership and actively solicits input, guidance and counsel in all aspects of its work and diverse agenda of activity. The Centre emphasizes impact and, in doing so, strives to ensure that its evidence-informed publications, tools and knowledge mobilization products are accessible, timely and relevant to what is happening in the field and to embrace and include diverse voices and perspectives with tailored resources for specific audiences and stakeholders. CCSA hosts a biennial conference \u201cIssues of Substance\u201d \u2013 the largest gathering of researchers, service providers, organizations, and stakeholders in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research interests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research work focuses on mental health, substance use, stigma, public health, and health system service utilization. I work collaboratively with partners across the system to  develop, implement, and evaluate innovative interventions that lead to improved treatment access and outcomes for populations with substance use and mental health co-morbidities, with a focus on developing collaborative hospital-community models of care. My work also focuses on health behaviour change, including how behaviour change theories can be used to guide and inform novel interventions to facilitate health behaviour change (i.e., healthcare worker vaccination uptake and hand hygiene adherence) as well as the implementation of evidence into healthcare practice. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, my research is currently exploring the mental health and substance use impacts of COVID-19 on people with pre-existing mental health and substance use problems, as well as the impact of changes in service provision and care delivery due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ecopsychepedia (\u201cEcoPsy\u201d) is a free, public, online information source on climate psychology and its mental health implications, created by an international group of mental health professionals and climate communication experts. EcoPsy enables healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, policy-makers, students of all ages, community leaders, and general readers to learn more and share knowledge about how the ecological(eco), the psychological(psyche), and societies impact one another \u2013 and, critically, how we can respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EcoPsy publishes articles and other resources on major topics intersecting climate change, mental health, and human psychology and behaviour. Articles are informed by expert knowledge, accessible to a wide audience, and regularly updated to reflect the most current understanding. By sharing knowledge, EcoPsy aims to nurture the exchange of ideas across disciplines, support people experiencing climate-related mental health impacts, build resilience, and equip us to be agents of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ecopsychepedia is a collaboration of the Climate Psychiatry Alliance and Climate Psychology Alliance of North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main focus for research is using fMRI to understand executive dysfunction in vulnerable populations. I have studied cancer patients, cannabis use in youth, Multiple Sclerosis, effects of oral contraceptives on the developing brain, concussion, cardiac arrest, childhood sexual abuse, and several others. The highlight of my research has been using mindfulness as a way to alleviate the impact of disease or injury on people\u2019s lives. I study the neurophysiological impact of mindfulness and provide empirical evidence that it works and how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carla (she\/her) received her PhD in psychology from Carleton University in 2016 and currently works as a researcher for the Department of National Defence. In this role, she examines workplace demands (e.g., work-family conflict; job stress) and resources (e.g., organizational support; transformational leadership; meaningful work), as predictors of workplace well-being outcomes (e.g., job engagement and burnout)\u2014providing recommendations to increase resources and minimize demands to optimize workplace well-being. Carla\u2019s work experience, personal experience with grief (Carla\u2019s husband, Derek, died in 2017), and interest in positive psychology have combined to create Carla\u2019s passion for promoting psychological well-being in and out of the workplace. To that aim, Carla speaks openly about her own personal story while highlighting evidence-based strategies to promote psychological wellness and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
