Relationships important to kids’ well-being

CHÉOS Researcher Dr. Anne Gadermann is the lead author on a study that found that children’s relationships with peers and adults have a greater impact on their well-being than socioeconomic status. Read more on the Toronto Star.


Renfrew House helps youth transition into adulthood

In December, The Globe and Mail published a feature on Renfrew House, a six-bedroom home in East Vancouver that serves as a safe landing for homeless or vulnerably housed youth aged 18 to 24. In the article, CHÉOS Scientist Dr. Steve Mathias, lead of the Inner City Youth Program which encompasses Renfrew House, talks about the impact of housing on this group of youth.


Do you have a question from your clinical practice?

The 6th Annual PHC Research Challenge is an annual competition open to front-line PHC staff. Teams have the opportunity to work with a mentor to develop a research proposal around a research question, learn basic research skills, and compete with other teams for funding to conduct a small-scale research project. Please visit our website to learn more about the annual competition and upcoming information sessions.
