UM Knowledge Exchange is an important opportunity for UM researchers to share emerging knowledge with members of the public and the wider UM community. UM Knowledge Exchange is hosted by the Associate Vice-President Research, with support from the UM Learning for Life Network.

Manitoba has the lowest number of psychologists per capita among Canadian provinces, creating barriers to community well-being for the nearly 20% of our population who are experiencing mental health conditions. UM researchers are focused on innovations in accessible and culturally safe services to deliver ongoing support projects and other lasting solutions for the mental health crisis.
