Eugenia Canas, BA’96, PhD’19, was a passionate advocate for marginalized populations and focused her research endeavors on the design and implementation of youth mental health policy and programs and supporting those impacted by trauma, violence and inequities.
A respected member of Western’s Centre for Research on Health Equity and Social Inclusion, she worked tirelessly to educate health and social service providers, and organizations, to practice in a trauma- and violence-informed way and co-led the development of a knowledge mobilization project to share findings about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on services for women experiencing violence.
In all her activities, she was a deeply valued friend and colleague, a source of strength, a wonderful mentor, and a role model to diverse populations of youth
