Ana茂s Cadieux Van Vliet (they/them) is a PhD candidate in the 成人VR视频 School of Social Work, a former community organizer and support worker. Before pursuing doctoral studies, Ana茂s spent a decade providing psychosocial support services to street involved youth, migrants living with precarious status and students impacted by sexual violence. Currently, they coordinate two Advisory Committees for the Canadian Consortium on Child and Youth Trauma(CCYT). Comprised of former youth in care and kinship/adoptive caregivers, members of these advisory committees help shape the CCYT鈥檚 research and programming by providing their professional and lived expertise.

Ana茂s completed a B.A with a double major in International Development Studies and Psychology, as well as an MSW on grass-roots efforts to transform university policies on harassment, discrimination and sexual violence. Their PhD research, detailed in the following section, is expertly supervised by professors Myriam Denov (成人VR视频), Marjorie Rabiau (成人VR视频) and Dr. Rosaleen McElvaney (Children鈥檚 Health Ireland). Ana茂s is also a grateful beneficiary of professors Delphine Collin-V茅zina and Sharon Bond (professor emeritus)鈥檚 mentorship.

Recipient of a SSHRC doctoral award and MITACS Accelerate Fellowship, Ana茂s鈥� doctoral research focuses on siblings of child sexual abuse survivors- the experiences and service needs of this underrecognized group of young people impacted by child sexual abuse. Sometimes referred to as 鈥渘on-abused, non-abuser siblings鈥�, children who grow up in homes where one or more children experience abuse but were not directly victimized, are often deeply impacted by sexual violence. Yet very little research or therapeutic attention has been given to these children (鈥渘on-abused, non-abuser鈥� siblings). Their doctoral project will contribute to filling important evidence and theory gaps surrounding siblings and the sibling relationships in the context of family violence, while promoting the voices of non-abused siblings. Research findings could influence organizational policies and practice from the ground up. Specific practice implications might include how to work with the sibling subsystem in cases of child abuse; how to attend to survivors鈥� needs without placing undue responsibility on siblings; and differentiating best practices with direct survivors from best practices with their siblings.

More broadly, Ana茂s鈥� academic work centers often forgotten young people (including siblings) in contexts of familial and political violence, and how to better respond to the needs of underrecognized populations. They bring a commitment to participatory principles to their research and their social work practice more broadly. Their doctoral project will contribute to filling important evidence and theory gaps surrounding siblings and the sibling relationships in the context of family violence, while promoting the voices of non-abused siblings. Research findings could influence organizational policies and practice from the ground up. Specific practice implications might include how to work with the sibling subsystem when CSA has occurred; how to attend to survivors鈥� needs without placing undue responsibility on siblings; and differentiating best practices with direct survivors from best practices with their siblings.

An Israeli social worker and human rights activist, Maya Fennig is dedicated to researching and designing innovative, culturally responsive interventions that advance the wellbeing of refugees and marginalized people. Maya has worked extensively in the psychosocial field supporting war affected populations. She is currently a research associate at the Centre for Research on Children War Violence and Arts based Technologies (CREATE) and member of the Centre鈥檚 research group on children and global adversity, funded by Fonds de recherche du Qu茅bec 鈥� Soci茅t茅 et culture (FQRSC). In 2015, Maya was awarded a prestigious Jeanne Sauve Public Leadership Fellowship to address issues of diversity and refugee integration in Quebec, Canada. In her native country, Maya worked, for two years, as the research officer and coordinator of Empowerment & Resilience in Children Everywhere (ERICE). This Italian-Palestinian-Israeli research group works to promote the mental health of Arab children and families. At the same time, Maya developed the first university led program in Israel that trains African refugees to become lay health workers (LHW鈥檚), which she continues to remotely lead today.

Throughout her childhood Maya鈥檚 mother and grandparents, who had both escaped persecution and extreme violence in their countries, instilled in her a very personal sense of obligation towards other victims of war and dictatorship. It was therefore no surprise that in 2006, when African refugees began to arrive in Israel, Maya found herself on the frontline, volunteering with NGOs. There, she provided much needed support and organized numerous demonstrations to advocate for the rights of refugees. These experiences led Maya to found The Refugee Voice newspaper, which she successfully managed for three years. This nonprofit social venture is the first media source in Israel, authored by and for African refugees and asylum seekers living in Israel途 one that expresses their voice and speaks for them in their own language. With the support of The UN Refugee Agency, Ha鈥檃rtez (one of Israel鈥檚 leading newspapers) and dozens of volunteers, the newspaper鈥檚 printed and electronic editions have reached more than 150,000 readers in Israel and abroad, raising national and international awareness about refugee issues.

Maya earned a Bachelor of Social Work (honours) at TelAviv University in 2011 and a Master of Social Work in 2014 from Washington University in St. Louis.

Maya is currently pursuing a PhD at 成人VR视频鈥檚 School of Social Work under the supervision of Dr. Myriam Denov. Maya鈥檚 doctoral research examines the effects of social and cultural factors on Eritrean refugees鈥� mental health with the goal of developing a novel, culturally sensitive adaptation framework for working with Eritrean refugees. This framework is effectively a set of guidelines which will assist researchers and practitioners in creating adapted mental health interventions that reflect Eritrean refugees鈥� unique needs and worldviews. The development of this framework will be done in a bottom-up manner focusing on Eritrean refugees鈥� culturally distinctive ways of 鈥榢nowing鈥�, helping and healing. Maya鈥檚 longterm goal is to improve the access, equity and quality of psychosocial services for underserved refugee and migrant populations.

I am a third-year PhD candidate at the School of Social Work, 成人VR视频. My research interests revolve around understanding the impact of market reforms on Institutions. I am particularly interested in understanding how neoliberalization transforms labour market institutions and the ideas of the market economy are further embedded into the state institutions and bureaucratic structures. My other area of interest reflects upon the informalization of work through labour market flexibility and the consequence of precarious working conditions among people who work at the bottom of the informal economy.

My PhD thesis examines the intricacies related to access to welfare policies for migrant construction workers in western India. Within Quebec and the Canadian context, my research is focused on two varied categories of workers who engage in precarious work. First, my research examines the experiences of temporary foreign workers who work in agricultural fields across Canada. Secondly, I am researching the experiences of international students in navigating precarious part-time employment in Montreal鈥檚 labour market. My research and teaching are primarily interdisciplinary in nature and focused on larger concerns related to labour, work and employment relations, social policy, and transformation of the welfare state. Before embarking on my PhD at 成人VR视频, I completed my MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Cambridge as a Commonwealth Shared Scholar.

Mahmudul Hassan is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Social Work at 成人VR视频. As a social researcher and development practitioner, Mahmud has over 6 years of working experience in Asia, Europe, and North America. In 2015, he commenced his professional journey at the a2i Programme, a project of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and UNDP Bangladesh that brings innovation in public service delivery through digitization of government services to provide hassle-free services at citizens鈥� doorsteps. To support the national-level policy formulation in Bangladesh, Mahmud designed, coordinated, and implemented many national-level community development projects and research studies along with small-scale projects of different ministries of GoB and international donors such as UNICEF, UNDESA, etc.

Mahmud earned his BSS (Bachelor of Social Sciences) Honors and MSS (Master of Social Sciences) degrees in Social Welfare in 2013 & 2014, respectively at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Under the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship programme, funded by the European Union, Mahmud completed his 2^nd master's degree titled 鈥�European Master in Social Work with Families and Children (MFamily)鈥� in 2020. It is a joint master鈥檚 degree programme, coordinated by the University of Stavanger, Norway, that allowed Mahmud to study in three different institutions (ISCTE-IUL, Portugal, University of Stavanger, Norway, and University of Gothenburg, Sweden) in Europe, and to enhance his skills and understanding of EU actions to protect vulnerable children and families from violence, discrimination, and modern challenges. His master鈥檚 thesis focused on the relationship between immigrant Bangladeshi parents and their young children in respect of their education and social life.

Through his doctoral research, he will explore the intergenerational relationships in the couple formation process of Bangladeshis in Canada. Along with investigating the couple formation process (dating/cohabitation, and marriage) among young adults (2^nd generation and 1.5 generation) of immigrant Bangladeshi families in Canada, this study will also enrich the understanding of intergenerational relationships and conflicts over the couple formation process in immigrant Bangladeshi families. Moreover, it will guide the policymakers to develop appropriate policies and take the required initiatives to ensure positive relationships in immigrant families.

Maya Malik, MSSW is a doctoral student at 成人VR视频 School of Social Work and a researcher with the Global Child 成人VR视频 Research Group in the Participatory Methods Axis and the Centre for Socially Engaged Theatre (C-SET) at the University of Regina. Mx. Malik is currently a Sadler Scholar at the Hastings Center, focusing on arts and community-based participatory research as a main method of knowledge production for bioethics to push back on the harms of essentialized western ethics in health and research. Mx. Malik鈥檚 research focuses on utilizing arts-based Youth-Led Participatory Research (YPAR) methods to work with Queer Black Americans who have been justice-involved and/or come from areas with community violence to improve intervention programs focused on well-being. They utilize Black Feminist Poethics as their methodology to unseat knowledge hierarchies and de-legitimize hegemonic historical propaganda that dehumanizes non-heterosexual and non-white youth.

Maya鈥檚 research aims to use the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to critique and change the anti-black criminality of western programs for marginalized youth and instead look at gang recruitment and involvement as a violation of the rights of said youth. Maya also works with an interdisciplinary group of public health researchers focused on critical quantitative and mixed methods approaches to imagining the impact of possible interventions to mitigate the impact of social determinants of health and covid-19 on the Black diaspora in the United States through health-focused Reparations policies here. They are also featured in a special issue of the Journal of Computing with the Ethical Tech Working Group at Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University here.

Maya also works as a consultant to create educational training plans for research programs and nonprofit organizations using arts-based participatory methods. They also consult on qualitative data collection (focus groups and interviews), participatory analysis, and participatory research methods working with all ages. They also currently volunteer as a community grant reader for the New England Grassroots Environmental Fund, work with EqualHealth on Reparations advocacy for members in the Global South, and over the summer interning with the New England Innocence Project creating educational materials around prison abolition and trauma. Over the summer, Maya participated in the Michigan Center for African American Aging Research (MCUAAAR) and Program for Research on Black Americans (PRBA) Mentoring Program. Mx. Malik earned their Masters of Science in Social Work from the Columbia School of Social Work, focusing on International Social Welfare and Rights for Immigrants and Refugees through program design, research, and evaluation.

Throughout their academic career, Maya has taught low-income youth of colour in different communities in the United States and India utilizing arts-based learning techniques and created interactive educational programming to address the negative effects of poverty, trauma, and structural oppression on attainment for students in marginalized communities.

Before starting his Ph.D., Jeffrey McCrossin earned an MSc(A) in Couple and Family Therapy (2019) from the School of Social work. Before coming to 成人VR视频, he obtained an MSW from Carleton University (2012) and worked as a clinical social worker, couple and family therapist, and psychotherapist in community mental health and neurorehabilitation settings in his home province of Nova Scotia. He maintains a private practice and is an approved clinical supervisor with the Ordre des psychologues du Qu茅bec. Jeffrey has taught family therapy courses at 成人VR视频 in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology and the School of Social Work.

His passion for teaching has been recognized by the Faculty of Arts, who awarded him the Graduate Student Teaching Award in 2022. Jeffrey鈥檚 research program is centred on the well-being of families of neurodiverse children and explores ways in which support systems can facilitate pathways of family resilience. He examines how caregiver support, such as parenting programs, navigation services, and peer support, can have wider cascading benefits for the whole family beyond the individual caregiver or child. Jeffrey engages families in research to put the needs of the families on the research and practice agenda in social, healthcare, and education sectors.

His research has been funded by several fellowships including from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, le Fonds du recherche du Qu茅bec 卢- Sant茅, and various national pediatric research networks and philanthropic organizations. He is also a Quebec Autism Research Training Fellow and recipient of the Trainee Leadership Award for Community Engagement from the Transforming Autism Care Consortium.

Google scholar profile:

Susan is a doctoral candidate in the School of Social Work at 成人VR视频. Her research explores the role of families in psychiatry with a focus on the relationship between family members and psychiatric professionals and a particular interest in collaboration between the two groups. Susan completed her master鈥檚 degree (MSW) at 成人VR视频, where she trained in family therapy. Her final master鈥檚 project (ISP) explored the role of grief and unrecognized loss faced by the families of people suffering from mental illness. Susan received her bachelor鈥檚 degree (BA) in cultural studies and French literature from Trent University. Before graduate school, Susan spent ten years doing clinical work with families in community mental health at various organizations around Montreal, including AMI-Quebec, TRACOM, Project ARC, and Project PAL. Her work focused on counseling, crisis intervention, psychoeducation, and advocacy. Susan鈥檚 clinical experience with families has had an important influence on her research.

In an earlier career, Susan was a photojournalist with published work in various newspapers and magazines. She learned early on that taking the time to listen and connect with people allows you to see and appreciate the world in diverse ways. She believes that people鈥檚 stories can change the world, and so be it through a camera, counseling, or research, Susan aims to give voice to the stories people want to tell. Encouraging connections between people with varied experiences has been an essential piece of Susan鈥檚 work and has drawn her to interdisciplinary collaboration. Merging diverse backgrounds leads to fresh ideas and new insights, something she believes is particularly pertinent in the classroom.

Together with colleagues, Susan has given presentations about shaking up the academic establishment and has published on end-of-life care and the merits of co-teaching in higher education. Susan has taught (and co-taught) courses on social care and family practice at the master鈥檚 and bachelor鈥檚 level and has regularly been invited to guest lecture on family involvement in mental healthcare. She has presented at numerous academic conferences and in diverse clinical settings.听

Susan鈥檚 research explores the roles of families in psychiatry with a focus on the relationship between family members and psychiatric professionals. She is particularly interested in exploring the role of collaboration between these groups. Using a qualitative methodology that captures people鈥檚 experiences and stories (with an interest in arts-based research), her work aims to challenge and improve how collaboration with families occurs in mental healthcare.

I've devoted 35 years to developing culturally responsive social services, education, and health/mental health care, nationally and internationally, emphasizing community participation and leadership. My work has included research (ethnic identity, international development, community service collaboration, health care, and community-based participatory research); directing community-based programs; and developing and leading national technical assistance initiatives (National Alliance for Multicultural Mental Health and, for the past 10 years, Bridging Refugee Youth & Children's Services, ). I hold an MSW and MA/doctoral candidacy in Anthropology/Medical Behavioral Sciences. I am a Research Fellow at Bank Street College of Education in New York and a doctoral student and Tomlinson Fellow in the School of Social Work at 成人VR视频. My current research focuses on cross-sector collaboration and community partnership strategies to improve cultural responsiveness, relevance, and effectiveness within mainstream education, health/mental health, and social service systems.

Lindsay Savard (she/her) is a mother claimed by the M茅tis Nation of Alberta. Under the supervision of Dr. Delphine Collin-V茅zina, Lindsay's doctoral work is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. This work is intended to center parents鈥� experiences in their adolescent鈥檚 treatment of suicide-related behaviours, with potential implications in the way interventions involve parents who are asked to shoulder therapeutic tasks in treatment.

Lindsay also serves as the Practice and Policy Coordinator with the Canadian Consortium on Child and Youth Trauma (CCCYT). In this role, she conducts pan-Canadian consultations with 55+ CCCYT partners to identify and report on current trauma-informed practices as well as national and organizational policies across Canada and their impact.

Lindsay continues to work as a registered social worker in private practice with adults and couples. Her clinical experience includes training as a Child and Family Therapist with the SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health, working on multidisciplinary teams such as reflective family therapy and infancy-preschool teams. She has also served as a school social worker and hospital outpatient clinician, supporting children and youth discharged from mental health inpatient stays. Before beginning her Ph.D., Lindsay worked as a school social worker for pregnant and parenting youth.

Lindsay is actively involved in several research projects at institutional, national, and international levels to support children's well-being. She has been invited to speak to both undergraduate and graduate classrooms over the years. Formerly, Lindsay conducted research with Children First Canada, which led to the knowledge translation of the top threats to children in Canada. She also played a pivotal role as the lead research consultant for Fledge, a gamified school-based digital intervention for children鈥檚 mental health. .
