Research

EWBI Canada’s first order of work has been the creation of a plan to catalyze Development of a Culturally Informed Emotional Well-being Framework which embraces a strength-based perspective of healthy living, guided by culturally informed and holistic healing, including the right to self-determination, the need for cultural understanding, recognition of human rights, recognition of cultural diversity, inclusive society and elimination of racism and stigma.

EWBI will conduct literature reviews and public engagement to inform development of the functional framework in the short term; and carry out research to develop modules for its implementation of emotional well being approaches to inform social prescribing and mental health service referral and delivery in Canada in the long run.
