This CIRC Center webinar, "The Center for Community Inclusion and Reflective Collaboration: Enhancing Community Participation among Young Adults with Serious Mental Health Conditions from Disadvantaged Backgrounds", was presented on June 5, 2024. Community participation across various domains — including employment, education, social relationships, and leisure activities — is essential during young adulthood yet can be challenging for those who experience a serious mental health condition and other sources of disadvantage. During this presentation, Drs. Kathryn Sabella and Elizabeth Thomas introduced the newly established Center for Community Inclusion and Reflective Collaboration (CIRC) which serves as a national leader in state-of-the-art research and knowledge translation activities dedicated to fostering community participation among young adults with serious mental health conditions from disadvantaged backgrounds. They:
  • Provided an overview of community participation concepts
  • Discussed disparities among specific groups of young adults with serious mental health conditions (e.g., BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, those with child welfare and/or justice system involvement)
  • Identified key gaps in research and practice
  • Outlined the center’s research and knowledge translation projects
  • Discussed opportunities for collaboration and technical assistance
