Enhancing patient care through innovation and research

Through our partnership with the Homewood Research Institute we also help raise the bar in mental health treatment by creating new ways of helping people. We are refining existing practices, inventing new approaches and documenting the effectiveness of novel tactics—all in the pursuit of better results for our patients and clients.

The Homewood Research Institute (HRI) is a not-for-profit organization with the mission to improve the outcomes of mental health and addictions treatments by partnering in research that enhances practice. HRI facilitates the development of networks that enable top researchers to collaborate with patients, clients, worksites, clinicians, and donors in work that advances both science and practice. Homewood Health is HRI’s primary practice partner in this enterprise, which aims to continually improve outcomes at Homewood and around the world.

HRI is particularly focused on improving outcomes and practice in the areas of addictions, concurrent treatment, post-traumatic stress and return to work. Homewood Health staff who work with our patients and clients are involved in planning and conducting studies to ensure they are relevant to improving practice and outcomes.
