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:

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.

Celebrating remarkable women in science
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.

Changing our MINDS
Local youth use art and storytelling to illustrate the personal and system challenges in mental health.
The words and images are both heartbreaking and hopeful.
“Nobody likes you if you are sad.”
you are enough. stay strong. let life surprise you.
“Please don’t leave like everyone else.”
1 year sober. 1 year of school. 1 year building a safe home. 1 year loving myself.
Zine-writing, a personal and introspective medium often used by people who have been marginalized, is an important part of local research that is finding solutions to complex mental health challenges among young adults. Its name derives from its magazine (“zine”) format.
“When we make the voices of people with lived experience central to our research, we can learn from each other and then change the system together,” says Dr. Arlene MacDougall, founder of MINDS of London-Middlesex.
The social innovation and research lab based at St. Joseph’s Health Care London (St. Joseph’s) is dedicated to designing, piloting and testing mental health innovations for teens and young adults. Its recent evolution into MINDS 2.0 adds insights by and for people up to age 35 who have complex, pervasive mental health and addiction issues.
Learning from experts
Rin, a London artist, who has published independent zines for a decade, created three for this project, including one that, with irony, asks the reader to ponder which vulnerable people aren’t worth saving.
“I believe making art can be very healing,” says Rin. “I wanted to share some of my story to help myself and help others. I want to play a part in shaping a mental health system that’s better than the one I encountered.”
The zines weave art, prose and poetry into story:
3 things I would change: affordability, stigma, waitlists.
“If I had a magic wand, I would use it to heal the waters, grow the trees, foster animal growth.”
Look in the mirror, see how far you’ve come.
They also raise and propose solutions to troubling issues among people with mental illness: housing and homelessness, sparse resources for people with addictions, lack of coordination among service providers, and dehumanizing attitudes in health and criminal justice systems.
“Participants experienced catharsis just in telling their stories,” says Renee Hunt PhD, Associate Director of Research and Operations at MINDS. “And because they’re the experts, they’re also playing an important part in changing systems that need an overhaul.”
Adds Rin, “It feels empowering knowing people are listening to us – people who care and are committed to making change to the system.”
MacDougall notes the pivotal role of St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation – in particular, a groundbreaking $5-million donation towards mental health research from philanthropist Ryan Finch – in advancing mental health innovation through MINDS and MINDS 2.0.
“They’ve been our biggest supporters since day one. This wouldn’t have happened without support from Ryan and the foundation and all the many donors who believe in mental health research,” says MacDougall, who is also Director of Research and Innovation with St. Joseph’s Mental Health Care Program.
“MINDS has been a catalyst for system change,” MacDougall adds. “Research is always about finding answers and generating impact.”
Many findings from MINDS research have been put into practice, among them are the creation of guidebooks for peer support, free taxi service for rural youth needing urban mental health or addiction services, and educational resources to support 2SLGBTQI+ students.
MacDougall says MINDS 2.0 expands that work with new voices and the exploration of more in-depth solutions.
What’s next for MINDS 2.0
- Workshopping ideas and prototypes for mental health systems change. Sessions will be held where people with lived/living experience and service providers propose and develop potential solutions.
- Leadership-building. Twenty mental health practitioners will be trained to become “agents of change” who will collectively create, implement and evaluate mental health programs, technology, interventions and training.
- Imaginarium conference. In 2025, a first-of-its-kind national conference will take place to share system innovations in mental health and addiction.
