Psychological Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians

While we moved through the phases of the Covid-19 pandemic as a nation, the effects to our daily lives and well-being were experienced individually. Our team of researchers aimed to capture these experiences. Through the use of online surveys and targeted interviews, we have learned how Canadians are coping and where Mental Health resources should be allocated to those who need it most.
