Following the announcement of the 2025 APF Recognition Award recipients, we are pleased to share that Dr. Sakiko Yamaguchi has been honored with a Public Engagement Award.
Dr. Yamaguchi believes that research is not only the creation of new knowledge but also a social process, where public engagement can transform knowledge into meaningful actions and innovations that positively impact practices, policies, and communities.
Biography : Dr. Sakiko Yamaguchi is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Douglas Research Centre/Department of Psychiatry. She was formerly a postdoctoral researcher in the Knowledge Mobilization Program of CHILD-BRIGHT Network till August 2024. After completing her PhD study in the Division of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry at McGill University in 2021, her passion to bridge the knowledge-practice gap led her to collaborate with diverse research partners, including youth living with disabilities/mental health conditions, and co-created various Knowledge Translation products.
