I believe that one of the really important pieces is to think about how we develop research in collaboration with the community. The centre that we're meeting with this evening, the centre for chronic pain, is doing a really great job of having veterans working in collaboration with them. However, what we're really looking at, and one of the recommendations we have, is around communities' participatory research, which looks at individuals who feel marginalized within communities, starting with them and, in collaboration, developing the research questions: How do we access those individuals who are maybe feeling a little bit disconnected overall, and then how do we build that sort of peer mentorship to include more and more voices in this process?
It's a top-down approach that's even sometimes coming from researchers, and I'm a researcher myself. It's coming from that external place and then moving inwards. We're constantly missing the mark, so starting here and then moving outwards in collaboration, I think, is the ideal approach.
