Abstract

The objectives of this International Community-University Research Alliance project are to investigate mental health service models in Brazil and Canada, to employ those findings to influence academic and policy debates, and to contribute to training for health care providers and students. This paper reports on the many programmes, projects and outputs carried out by the Alliance in the past five years. During this time, researchers, students, mental healthcare users and providers developed a wide range of actions that included scientific research and interventions. Collaboration between academic and non-academic partners was supported through a governance model that sought inclusion and consensus.
