Description: You are invited to participate in two studies related to the mental health of graduate students in psychology, counselling or psychotherapy in Canada. The main study aims to establish a portrait of this population’s mental health, clarify what can affect it over time, and identify strategic avenues of intervention. To better achieve these objectives, the other study aims to validate new measures of self-care attitudes and behaviours through a preliminary time point, before the main study. For each time point, several $25 Amazon gift cards will be drawn among the participants. Your voluntary participation can be in one or both of the studies*.
Preliminary study: A questionnaire of about 20 minutes to be filled by September 22, 2024, (optionally) followed by the first questionnaire of the main study, two to four weeks later.
Main study: A questionnaire of about 20 minutes to be completed before October 20, 2024, (optionally) followed by four other questionnaires of approximately the same duration in December 2024, January, February and March 2025.
