Mind the Gap
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.
