Research Exchange Groups
The Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Applied Health Research has established the Research Exchange Group (REG) program to engage with our community and build research capacity in the province. The program brings together university researchers, health professionals, decision-makers, community groups, and members of the public who share a common interest under the domain of applied health research.

Healthy Relationships Across the Lifespan
The Research Exchange Group on Bullying and Health was founded in September 2013. The group connects researchers, faculty, educators, students, practitioners, and policy makers who gather monthly to discuss applied health research on issues related to bullying and health in Newfoundland and Labrador, whether focused on the school system, the workplace, the post-secondary experience, health professional bullying or issues of leadership and restorative justice.

October 24, 2019 | Rethinking Fat Bodies in Counselling Education | Bahar Haghighat, Ph.D. Candidate, Education | This presentation covered how counselling education must address weight bias, and how body inclusiveness is important. Haghighat drew upon her experiences teaching a course on diversity in counselling that focused on training culturally-competent counsellors in which she incorporated readings on weight-stigma and fat-phobia. Based on the feedback she received and the conversations she had, she will conclude how a “body-becoming” pedagogy can open possibilities for teacher education and counselling education. | Presentation Slides | Reference List |
