Overview

We work with people receiving hemodialysis and a Knowledge Keeper to identify mental health concerns, including those among Indigenous individuals receiving hemodialysis. Our goal is to address these concerns with culturally sensitive and trauma-informed solutions.

As a patient partner, your contribution includes:

  • Sharing your experience with hemodialysis
  • Offering perspectives on which mental health concerns to address and how
  • Helping guide the study in ensuring we come up with culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed solutions.

Eligibility

We are looking for new patient partners who:

  • Self-identify as Indigenous
  • Are receiving in-centre hemodialysis or provide care for someone receiving hemodialysis
  • Are aware of any mental health concerns as a result of receiving hemodialysis
  • Are passionate about addressing mental health concerns

We recognize the important contributions of our patient partners in our publications and with honoraria.
