Summary

The Researching Health in Ontario Communities (RHOC) and Five Views on a Journey projects used a mobile labora- tory to visit several communities to conduct community-based research on issues related to mental health, substance use, and violence (MSV). As part of these projects, in-depth interviews were conducted with people who had experienced MSV issues and with family members of people with MSV issues to exam- ine their experiences coping with and seeking help for these issues. This presentation focuses on interviews from two First Nations communities.
