DREAM BIG’s work on predicting lifespan psychopathology and well-being from early maternal adversity exposure, genetic susceptibility, and childhood cognitive and psychological processes harmonized across several international longitudinal birth cohorts can be found here.

Non-scientific explanations of DREAM BIG’s goals and findings, descriptions of upcoming local studies for our MAVAN/MAVAN-R cohort and/or the general public, links to a variety of mental health resources for women, men, children and youth living in Canada, first hand accounts from MAVAN/ MAVAN-R participants about contributing to mental health research, and much more can be found here.

DREAM BIG’s work with and development of modelling strategies (including artificial intelligence) to increase early identification of children at-risk for later mental health problems can be found here.

Translating research findings into actions that can benefit society is the goal of research. DREAM BIG strives to identify early indicators off lifespan mental health outcomes (both in terms of psychopathology and well-being) so that innovating and effective prevention and treatment plans can be developed and implemented.

DREAM BIG’s work on 1) the evaluation of a day hospital treatment program for elementary children with severe internalizing and externalizing problems (OUI-Care) and 2) hospitalizations for suicide ideations and/or attempts (MUHC-ER) can be found here.

DREAM BIG would like to keep our MAVAN/NAVN-R cohort and the general public informed. In this section links to videos explaining the underlying theory that drives DREAM BIG research goals, our social media accounts, associated podcasts, and media announcements can be found here.
