Support Our Research
The Waypoint Research Institute (WRI) is dedicated to advancing evidence-based mental health and addiction research.
Our researchers cover the full spectrum of mental health research with populations, including adults, seniors, youth, in-patient, out-patient, forensics, addictions, and rehabilitation.
Many researchers also deliver clinical services, upholding the highest standards of ethical, evidence-based assessments, interventions, and treatments in order to advance mental health and addiction research. Sharing research findings is essential to achieving this, with WRI researchers publishing their findings in respected peer-reviewed journals and presenting at leading conferences.
