As many as one in three of us will experience significant mental health issues in our lifetime.
The Mental Health Initiative for Stress and Trauma (MIST) explores how both emotional stress and physical trauma impact the brain and can lead to the development of mental health conditions. Based out of the Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research and Education at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, MIST is responding to the gaps in our understanding and improving education and treatment for mental health challenges.
This initiative was developed as an enduring and impactful legacy to the untimely death of Mike McClay, a beloved member of the Calgary community.
