No life held back or cut short by mental illness or substance use issues.
DonateHomewood Research Institute (HRI) is an independent national charity dedicated to research that transforms mental health and substance use treatment in Canada and around the world.
We work with some of North America’s most influential scientists, researchers, and clinicians, coordinating efforts to advance a common goal: improving treatment to save lives.
Our approach is unique: we work in real-world treatment settings, putting research into action immediately. By merging research and practice, we’re finding solutions that will help people sooner.
We focus on four priority areas:
How does impulsivity change during addiction treatment and what impact does it have on treatment outcomes?

HRI Leads National Collaboration to Develop Standards for Mental Health and Substance Use Health Apps in Canada

Emily Levitt, HRI Research Trainee, has a noble goal to help others in need, and HRI has provided a unique learning environment to help her reach it.
“Far too many Canadians live with wounds that are largely invisible and misunderstood. HRI is breaking down barriers and providing evidence that opens up vital dialogue about mental illness and addiction. They’re shedding light on all dimensions of these illnesses. And they’re looking for real solutions to a very serious problem in Canada.”
