Geneviève Gagné, SW, MSW; Clinique JAP, CHUM, researcher, CRCHUM.

Geneviève has been involved with Clinique JAP at the CHUM since 2010 and earned a master's degree in social work from McGill University in 2015. For several years, she has been interested in psychosocial intervention in an intercultural context. Deeply involved with the loved ones of young people receiving care at Clinique JAP since she began working there, she was tasked in 2020 with rethinking the programming offered to them, and this mission quickly became central to her practice.

Mélanie Gagnon, SW, Clinique JAP, CHUM

A case manager at Clinique JAP since 2016, Mélanie has been deeply involved with the loved ones of young people receiving care at Clinique JAP since she began her practice. She is particularly interested in the emotional experiences they face through the ordeal of illness and seeks to support them both through the one-to-one support she offers and by taking part in the group activities and family therapy offered at the clinic.

Line Bonneau, PhD, Project Coordinator and Community Liaison Consultant; Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, Jewish General Hospital

Responsible for liaising with Clinique JAP for the research project Culturally adapted psychoeducation for the families of patients with First Episode Psychosis (FEP) from English-speaking minority communities (Jarvis et al. 2020-23), Line has been closely involved with Clinique JAP, both to document the “shift towards needs and lived experience” described in the poster and, above all, to contribute to the team's thinking and support the project. Line is a valuable ally for Clinique JAP.

Julie Coulombe, Family Peer Supporter, Société Québécoise de Schizophrénie and citizen researcher, CIRUSSS Chair, Université du Québec à Rimouski

A family peer supporter for the Société québécoise de la schizophrénie et des psychoses apparentées since 2020, Julie has experiential knowledge as a caregiver, having been among the loved ones of a person living with mental health issues for eight years and having accompanied many families, which has given her first-hand experience of the health care system.  She is involved as a citizen researcher for the CIRUSSS Chair at the Université du Québec à Rimouski and joined the Clinique JAP team as a collaborator in 2021. She co-facilitates several groups and helps create their content. Drawing on her experience and in-depth knowledge of what loved ones of young people receiving care at JAP go through, she brings an essential perspective to the review of the programming.

Mary Anne Levasseur, Peer Coordinator, Communauté Soignante project, Canada Research Chair in Partnership with Patients and Communities, and citizen partner-researcher, CRCHUM and CIRUSSS Chair, Université du Québec à Rimouski

Mary Anne has extensive experience working with loved ones as a family peer supporter in PPEP support groups. She contributed to the genesis of the project by developing, with other colleagues, the first version of our questionnaire on the needs and expectations of participants in psychoeducation groups for family members in 2018.
