The Missing Metrics: Expanding Measurement-Based Care in Addiction and Mental Health

With Lindsey Snaychuk, MA, National Research and Measurement-Based Care Manager and Maya Thulin, Measurement-Based Care Coordinator

Measurement-based care (MBC) is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of high-quality addiction and mental health treatment — but are standard tools telling the whole story? Join us on May 21, from 12–1pm ET, for a webinar with EHN Canada’s National Research and Measurement-Based Care Manager, Lindsey Snaychuk, and Measurement-Based Care Coordinator, Maya Thulin. This webinar expands upon the use of essential assessment tools by exploring how a more comprehensive, personalized approach to measurement can highlight hidden complexity, bolster clinical decision-making, and better capture holistic recovery.  

Participants will examine how validated tools for behavioural addictions, eating disorders, and other commonly co-occurring conditions can be integrated into routine care. We’ll also examine how measuring key risk factors and outcome predictors — including trauma history, impulsivity, and emotion regulation — can guide more targeted treatment planning. Finally, we’ll expand upon traditional definitions of success by exploring functional and quality-of-life metrics, from occupational re-engagement to social connectedness, that reflect positive outcomes.  

Date: Thur., May 21st, 2026
Time: 12pm – 1pm EST

Learning Objectives: 

• Describe the rationale for expanding MBC beyond standard symptom measures in addiction and mental health settings 
• Identify validated screening tools for behavioural addictions, eating disorders, and other co-occurring presentations relevant to their clinical population 
• Incorporate measures of key risk factors and outcome predictors into treatment planning 
• Apply broader, recovery-oriented metrics of treatment success, including functional outcomes such as occupational reintegration, social participation, and quality of life 
• Develop a practical framework for selecting and integrating measures to support individualized, measurement-driven care
