Support Children's Mental Health: Our Wood's Homes Research chair in children's mental health is Canada's first community-based chair in children's mental health. Dr. Angelique Jenney says, "I intend to break some myths that are taught about traumatized children and parents and their mental health challenges. And I’ve learned that it’s never too late for repair.”
