MindtheHeart Canadian Collaboration: mental health care pathways for male cardiac patients

Dr. Phillip Tully’s, Vascular & Brain Health group have commenced their working collaboration with Dr. Jalila Jbilou, MD, MSc, Ph.D, (pictured above) who is Associate Professor of Psychology at the Universite de Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada) on men’s mental health in cardiac populations. Dr Jbilou’s fields of expertise are: health psycholog and community medicine, integrated care models and differentiated analysis according to gender / sex in the prevention of chronic diseases.

Dr. Jbilou has completed data collection for the MindTheHeart project, a world first on several fronts: being a psychological intervention focussed specifically on male cardiac patients with depression, anxiety and PTSD; being a stepped-care and transdiagnostic intervention, and collating a rich qualitative dataset on patient and healthcare workers pre and post the intervention.

Dr. Jalila Jbilou was awarded a scholarship to spend several months with the Freemasons Centre for Male Healh & Wellbeing while on sabbatical in early 2021 and unfortunately border closures from COVID-19 has restricted her travel plans and the Centre’s opportunity to learn from her expertise. Nonetheless, the burgeoning collaboration and forthcoming results of MindTheHeart will undoubtedly provide unique answers to help improve mental healthcare for males with comorbid cardiac disease in Canada, Australia, and other countries.
