Advanced Research on Mental Health and Society
About
ARMS is the first interdisciplinary centre of its kind at McMaster and is housed in the Faculty of Social Sciences. The centre focuses on making contributions to our understanding of the social, structural, and institutional influences on mental health. ARMS takes the approach that mental health cannot be understood using one perspective alone. It is through dialectic engagement of multiple frameworks that real significant change can be gained.
There are three overarching themes that guide the research activities at ARMS including a focus on past and future research on mental health, current events and social issues related to mental health and interdisciplinary collaborations within and across institutions.
ARMS brings together the expertise of researchers in the social sciences, health sciences, and the community to advance mental health research in five priority areas:
1. Mental health and life transitions
2. Student mental health
3. Social inequality and mental health
4. Work and well-being
5. Healthy and sustainable communities
