The Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research & Education
The Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research & Education at the University of Calgary’s Foothills Campus is dedicated to finding innovative treatments and providing early interventions for mental illness. Poised to become a leader in mental health research and education, the Centre is focused on enhancing and creating new models for mental healthcare in Alberta and beyond.
Made possible by a $10 million investment from Ronald P. Mathison, president and chief executive of Matco Investments Ltd., the Centre will focus on research and training for child and youth populations. In partnership with the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, a number of recruitments are planned or underway that will support the rapid advancement of this initiative.
The vision of the Centre will be achieved by the realization of three main goals:
- To generate knowledge that improves our understanding of the brain changes associated with risk, onset, and treatment of serious mental illness;
- To train the next generation of basic and clinician scientists to understand the causes and treatments of mental illness;
- To work with our partners in health to implement and evaluate best standards of identifying and intervening for youth with emerging symptoms of mental illness.
With a focus on innovation, the strategic efforts and vision of the Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research & Education will provide support and new hope for the mental health of our community.
