Community Engagement Manager, PMH Website
As Community Engagement Manager, I bring together project stakeholders to build productive relationships. I engage and liaise with project partners and recruit participants for projects. Also, I developed and coordinate a Research Advisory Panel (RAP) of older adults that guides PMH research. I aim to use effective stakeholder relations and active community engagement to enhance older adults’ mental health. Outside of PMH, I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast - often swimming or out on my bike.

| Addition of Research Advisory Panel page to PMH websiteA Research Advisory Panel page encompassing a description of the Panel and bios of each research advisor was added to the Precision Mental Health website - https://www.precisionmentalhealthlab.com - in recognition of the value of their project participation.
The Precision Mental Health Research Advisory Panel (RAP) is a group that was convened in 2020 to ensure that our research findings are or will be meaningful and significant to end users. RAP activities include provision of feedback; guidance in direction of future research suggestions regarding website content; and piloting of sub-projects before they are delivered.

Many researchers find this difficult because they generally write for fellow subject specialists or academics. The Transdisciplinary Working (CC3) team therefore organized two lay-summary co-creation workshops for the AGE-WELL network. These workshops were designed to help researchers co-develop their project lay-summaries with stakeholders; and to develop guidelines for lay-summary co-creation for AGE-WELL researchers. Our poster presents the co-creation protocol and feedback from the researchers and other stakeholders about their experiences with the co-creation process. Following an analysis of the workshops, we developed a set of guidelines that suggest 1) stakeholders need to be informed about the goals and expectations of the co-creation process; and 2) facilitators need to be skilled enough to navigate the negotiation process and subsequently integrate stakeholders’ and researchers’ perspectives into the lay-summary of a project.
