The Centre Health and Biotech Management Research (CHBMR) at 秀色短视频 has been awarded more than $600,000 from The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) through its eHealth Innovation Partnership Program (eHIPP). The CHBMR is piloting and monitoring an award-winning, cognitive behavioural therapy developed by Dr. Kathleen Carroll and researchers at the Yale School of Medicine. CBT4CBT allows 24-hour-a-day online access to cognitive behavioural therapy for addictions to complement traditional treatment, including counselling.

鈥淲e are excited to be awarded this funding from CIHR, as it allows us to bring another tool to battle addiction to Canada,鈥� said Dr. Juergen Krause, director of the CHBMR. 鈥淐ognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is known for its great success for helping individuals suffering from alcohol and substance abuse.  CBT4CBT is the first program to offer cognitive behavioural therapy online and can be offered alongside traditional treatment options such as counselling. The funds obtained will provide us the unique opportunity to be the entry portal for this new addictions treatment approach to Canada and to develop it in collaboration with our partners in PEI and New Brunswick.鈥�

Cognitive behavioural therapy allows patients to recognize triggers, improve coping mechanisms, and alter the behaviour that leads to substance abuse. CBT4CBT鈥檚 efficacy, durability, and cost-savings have been proven in clinical trials, and it has been praised by patients and therapy personnel alike. Through web-based delivery, CBT4CBT can reach people even in rural areas 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

鈥淭he CIHR-funded project is a joint effort by Drs. Krause and Carroll and enables the implementation of an innovative and proven approach to the treatment of substance abuse that promises to benefit individuals in rural communities,鈥� said Dr. Robert Gilmour, 秀色短视频鈥檚 Vice-President of Research and Graduate Studies. 鈥淎s such, 秀色短视频 is proud to be a part of the project and we look forward to further development of this approach as it gains traction on PEI and in rural communities across Canada.鈥�

The development of this treatment program for Canada was initiated in Prince Edward Island. The Centre for Health and Biotech Management seeks to further establish CBT4CBT in Canada by first validating it in relevant rural communities before expanding it to more Canadian provinces and territories.

鈥淐anada has no shortage of innovative health care thinkers, top-notch health researchers or vibrant entrepreneurs,鈥� said Dr. Alain Beaudet, president of CIHR. 鈥淭hrough eHIPP, these great minds are coming together to deliver creative eHealth solutions for some of our country鈥檚 most pressing health care needs. I am particularly proud of the ways in which these projects put patients first, often by empowering them to be partners in their own care.鈥�

CIHR announced yesterday more than $13 million in eHIPP funding for 22 research projects across the country, including this project at 秀色短视频. This program was designed to test eHealth solutions in real-world contexts, and the breadth of funded projects highlights Canadian creativity and tech savviness. From the development of an app to enhance Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for youth being treated for anxiety and depression to programs that allow doctors and nurses to monitor the health of seniors in the comfort of their homes, these projects will help to empower patients to be partners in their health care, enable better health care, and accelerate innovation in Canada鈥檚 health system and growing health information technology (IT) industry.

The (CIHR) is the Government of Canada鈥檚 health research investment agency. CIHR鈥檚 mission is to create new scientific knowledge and to enable its translation into improved health, more effective health services and products, and a strengthened health care system for Canadians. Composed of 13 Institutes, CIHR provides leadership and support to more than 13,000 health researchers and trainees across Canada.

One benefactor of the fund is the Zen Zone that has been created in The Credit Union Day Lounge at the W.A. Murphy Student Centre for the duration of Mental Health Week. This space will serve as an area for relaxation, reflection, and mindfulness.

A new book by 秀色短视频鈥檚 Dr. Gregory Irvine examines the life and legacy of legendary tuba player and teacher Arnold Jacob (1915-1998). The book is published by Scholar Publications of Chicago.

Arnold Jacobs was an orchestral tuba player, and a long-time principal tubist for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. As Dr. Irvine writes in the introduction of his book, Jacobs was also a highly sought after teacher. 鈥淏rass players, both experienced and inexperienced, flocked to his studio because they had heard of his unique teaching and the success others before them had achieved under his guidance.鈥�

Dr. Irvine鈥檚 book explores Jacobs鈥� unique pedagogical approach, which contrasted sharply from conventional teaching styles at the time, and explains his teaching principles through Irvine鈥檚 own experiences, and those of others as his students.

Chuck Daellenbach, the tuba player with the Canadian Brass Quintet and a former student of Jacobs, writes in the book鈥檚 forward: 鈥淔or those not lucky enough, or old enough to be part of that tradition, Irvine has given vibrant insights into the mystique that was Jacob鈥檚 studio. This will be a book we will all keep close for those moments we wish to revisit the legacy of our once-in-a-millennium teacher, coach, mentor, and champion.鈥�

The 秀色短视频 extends its condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Reverend Brady Smith who passed away on March 6, 2016 at the age of 90. He received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University in 2001.

鈥淔ather Brady made an outstanding contribution to his community as a pastor, counselor, lobbyist, and advocate, all for the betterment of others,鈥� said President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淥ur province has lost a great man who overcame great odds to help people with addictions.鈥�

Born in rural Prince Edward Island, Father Brady Smith left school after grade six to earn a living. He fell prey himself to alcoholism that later he would help others overcome. After coming close to dying as a result of his addiction, Father Brady studied social work at Centennial College, worked on skid row in Toronto, and returned to PEI as a counselor. At the age of 56, he entered Holy Apostles Seminary and was ordained in Charlottetown in 1984.

Over his lifetime, Smith worked with more than 5,000 Islanders, helping individuals and families cope with alcohol addiction, drug and gambling addiction, marital problems, spiritual issues, grief and depression. In 1990, he established Serenity House, a refuge for people coping with addictions and other problems and tirelessly visited hospitals, halfway houses, prisons, high schools, 12-step meetings and homes. He also garnered tremendous public support on issues such as eliminating video gambling in corner stores, establishing halfway houses for inmates released from prison, and creating the addictions treatment centre in Mount Herbert.

John DeGrace, 秀色短视频鈥檚 registrar at the time Smith received his honorary degree, read the citation and said, 鈥淔ather Brady Smith is a man who has indeed walked through the valley of the shadow of death and who has emerged to walk in the clear light of the love of God鈥�Father Brady is known to the people of Prince Edward Island as a respected priest, a man of compassion, and a beacon of hope.鈥�

Additional works by Percy Grainger and Luke Ellard will be performed.
