CDSN welcomes our first Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Sent on behalf of Stéfanie von Hlatky:
Dr. Linna Tam-Seto
Good afternoon,
I am pleased to announce that Dr. Linna Tam-Seto has joined the CIDP on July 1, 2020 as a Canadian Defence and Security Network (CDSN) Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Linna’s research interests include understanding the health and well-being of Canada’s military members, veterans, public safety personnel and their families during life transitions and changes, with a particular focus on the experiences of servicewomen and women veterans. The CDSN is a network of professionals, academics, and researchers focused on better understanding and anticipating Canada’s role in modern international security.
Before joining the CIDP, Dr. Tam-Seto completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Health Studies and Policy Research Institute at Queen’s University, supporting the development of the #Here4U Military Version, a mental health app for members of the military community. Dr. Tam-Seto holds a PhD in Rehabilitation Science and is a registered occupational therapist with extensive experience in the areas of children and adolescent mental health. She is also Adjunct Faculty in the School of Rehabilitation Therapy at Queen’s University and a Contractual Assistant Professor at the Royal Military College.
Dr. Tam-Seto’s post-doctoral work at the CIDP will be the development of a gender-informed, culturally competent mentorship program to support servicewomen within the Canadian Armed Forces. A culturally competent mentorship program is grounded in the assumption that mentors and mentees bring with them their collective identities and respective cultures which informs the roles, expectations, and nature of their mentorship relationship. In order for programs to be effective and successful in meeting organizational and individual needs of both mentees and mentors, specific considerations, such as these, are necessary in development and implementation. The project will use a variety of data collection methods to create a framework that will guide the development of a mentorship program which will include educational and resource materials for both mentors and mentees.
Please join me in welcoming Linna to the CIDP.
Thank you,
Stéfanie
