BECOME A MEMBER

Everyone is welcome to be a member. You must be a member to enjoy the benefits of the DIVERT Mental Health Research Training Platform.

Membership for both categories is free and it’s easy to apply!

Associate Fellows

Everyone and anyone is invited to join the DIVERT Mental Health community. Associate Fellows are interested in learning more about inclusive ways to understand mental health and wellness in children, youth, and families. Associate Fellows are also interested in learning about or building innovative digital and virtual mental health strategies that increase the accessibility to mental health care. You must be registered as a Fellow or an Associate Fellow to benefit from DIVERT Mental Health. Registration to be an Associate Fellow takes about five minutes and you are immediately approved.

Benefits of Being an Associate Fellow

  • Access to exciting monthly virtual education activities.
  • Invite to annual in-person regional meetings.
  • Limited access to mentorship affinity groups with leaders in the field.

Fellows

DIVERT Mental Health Fellows are Master’s & Doctoral Students, Postdoctoral Trainees, and Early Career Researchers at a Canadian University or Hospital Research Institute who are leading a research project in inclusive and accessible mental health for traditionally marginalized children, youth, and their families. We invite students from diverse disciplines (e.g., nursing, medicine, rehabilitation sciences, computer science, clinical psychology, social work) to apply to be a DIVERT Mental Health Fellow!
