Unity Health Toronto (St. Michael’s Hospital)

The Justice and Equity Lab at St Michael’s Hospital (Unity Health), conducts research at the intersection of health, justice, and social-structural inequities with a focus on the health and social challenges associated with brain injury, criminal justice involvement, and homelessness. This project aims to reduce barriers to communication and compliance, in order to improve outcomes of the bail process in Toronto for people with a history of brain injury. This project will improve outcomes for people with brain injuries going through the bail process by equipping criminal justice professionals with tools to identify and better serve clients, whilst also directing clients to additional community-based supports.
