Book Launch: From Therapeutic Relationships to Transitional Care
2:00pm - 3:00pm
You are invited to a virtual event to learn more about a new publication from Routledge: From Therapeutic Relationships to Transitional Care: A Theoretical and Practical Roadmap. Hear from a panel of speakers who offer different perspectives on this important work.
This publication provides a foundational understanding of therapeutic relationships and the transitional discharge model (TDM) developed in Ontario by a team led by Dr. Cheryl Forchuk, Assistant Scientific Director at Lawson Health Research Institute. This approach is considered a “good practice” by the World Health Organization (WHO) and was recently included in its Guidance on Community Mental Health Services.
The transition from hospital to community is complex and can be challenging for people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness. TDM is a person-centered, evidenced-based approach that creates a safety net by providing seamless support during this transition. Peer support workers play an important role in providing support and links to community-based services based on people’s expressed needs for support.
More about the Transitional Discharge Method, shown in Ontario to be a beneficial and cost-effective approach to care as people are discharged from hospital, preventing re-admission:

Cafe Scientifique
6:30 -9:00 p.m.
Approximately nine per cent of Canadian adults will experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at some point in their lifetime (Canadian Mental Health Association). As trauma and trauma-related disorders have become more recognized in society, the need for research has accelerated. At London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Care London, our researchers are leading the way in advancing understanding, diagnosis and treatment in this critical area of mental health.
Join Lawson Health Research Institute on Thursday, September 28th at Goodwill Industries for a special Café Scientifique event, “Uncovering Trauma: A Conversation about PTSD and Moral Injury.”
Our world-renowned researchers and those with lived experience will share the importance of addressing trauma, PTSD and moral injury. They will discuss diagnosis, prognosis and treatment advancements developed through studies involving at-risk populations, including Canadian Veterans, health-care workers and those with developmental trauma.

Café Scientifique: The invisible world inside us
The human microbiome is a wonder of nature, with trillions of microbes calling our body home. They live in our gut and many other places throughout our body. They are involved in virtually every aspect of how we function and we are learning that they are essential to staying healthy. An unhealthy microbiome has been linked to many diseases from allergies to cancer and even mental health.
Most people out there have heard about probiotics and fermented foods, and chances are you’re trying to get more of them in your diet. Drinking kombucha or eating yogurt, anyone?
On November 27, 2019, Lawson Health Research Institute held the latest in its Café Scientifique event series, "The invisible world inside us: Exploring the human microbiome.”
The panel of researchers helped to unravel the mysteries about the micirobiome and how we are using that knowledge to improve health and health care. They also busted some myths and shared the important facts when it comes to probiotics, prebiotics and the microbiome.
Watch their talks:

Caring for our health care system

LAWSON PRESENTS CAFÉ SCIENTIFIQUE
Caring for our health care system:
Why we should give a darn about medical research
What does health care mean to Canadians? What about those of us who have experienced a care journey first-hand, either as a patient or family member? Health care is a point of pride in this country, but many Canadians worry that our system is falling behind.
Every day, health researchers are working with patients, industry and other partners to find real and sustainable solutions. Despite recent investments in medical research on a national level after years of underfunding, there is still much work to do.
Join Lawson Health Research Institute for our next Café Scientifique event to hear a panel of researchers talk about what they do and why medical research matters for all of us.
- Dr. Amer Burhan, Geriatric Neuropsychiatrist and Clinician Scientist
- Dr. Kelly Vogt, Trauma and General Surgeon and Clinician Scientist

Chronic pain can affect every facet of a person’s life. “When someone is in pain, they can have significant difficulty with activities we all do in our daily life, from getting out of bed to walking to the mailbox. It can also impact their mental wellness,” shares Lawson Health Research Institute Scientist Dr. Siobhan Schabrun, PhD. Dr. Schabrun, who is the first ever William and Lynne Gray Endowed Research Chair in Mobility and Activity at St. Joseph’s Health Care London, has dedicated much of her career to unravelling the complex connection between the body and the mind known as neuroscience, with a focus on persistent pain.
She is currently leading groundbreaking work in understanding, treating and preventing persistent pain, offering hope for enhanced mobility and activity in individuals with musculoskeletal and neurological conditions at St. Joseph’s Gray Centre for Mobility and Activity, located at Parkwood Institute.
Dr. Schabrun’s research program has extended beyond conventional approaches, delving into the use of non-invasive brain stimulation technologies such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, more commonly known as rTMS, a therapeutic tool used in mental health treatments for decades, to augment neuroplasticity and optimize outcomes in rehabilitation.
Bridging the gap between human pain models and clinical trials, Dr. Schabrun’s work is contributing to the understanding of clinical pain populations and bringing new treatment methods to the forefront to improve patient care and outcomes.
