communication should be much better.

I enjoyed learning about the downtown Vancouver Eastside. The research involved with this project helped me understand different harm reduction strategies.

Working with Atika at The J Healthcare Initiative was a truly rewarding experience. She was incredibly passionate about the organization's mission and created a supportive and motivating environment. She was always prepared, communicated clearly, and gave helpful, timely feedback. Her mentorship helped me grow my skills in digital marketing and content creation, and I felt like my contributions genuinely mattered. I would highly recommend this placement to any student looking to make a real impact through meaningful work.

I learned a lot in this position and it was a great team to work with!

Within this project of planning for the email marketing campaign, I refined my research and marketing strategies - targeting segmented audiences in healthcare settings.

I enjoyed getting to know the team and I learned a lot from my independent research annotations.

J-Health is doing very important work and can use all the support they can get-- but the project experience could have been better in terms of responsiveness to student requests and client engagement. There was a lot that the students could do, and given that they had limited guidance and communication with the partner was somewhat challenging, the students ended up with a great project (in terms of the quality of their research and recommendations) but one that may not ultimately serve the client well, which was disappointing.

Amazing she was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience as an intern and learned so much!!

Atika was very supportive and helpful from the very start to the end. I learned so much from the project.

Very communicative and professional, with clear goals and expectations, and where to improve.

I have really enjoyed working on the Evidence Based Drug Information project and felt that I learned a lot about knowledge translation specifically for harm reduction strategies and how it should be catered to substance users in an approachable, friendly way so that it is not intimidating to use!

I enjoyed working on The J Healthcare Initiative's project on adulterants. I learned so much from doing this project and I am grateful that Atika gave me the opportunity to do so!

It was lovely to work with Atika, she was very helpful and I learned a lot from working on this project.

Atika is awesome to work with!

Atika was an absolute delight to work with. Not only is she such an inspiring individual, but she is incredibly hard-working and dedicated to The J Healthcare Initiative. Atika fostered so much trust and belief in myself and my work, allowing me to maximize my potential during my term as an intern for The J Healthcare Initiative. This experience is certainly one I do not take for granted. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such an amazing Executive Director like Atika and the organization.

It was a pleasure working with Atika right from the beginning. Atika was happy to change some of the parameters of the project to meet our curriculum requirements (APA formatting). I look forward to working with Atika and The J Healthcare Initiative again in the future.

Atika was very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with; extremely organized, providing our students with recent and updated documents to review prior to beginning their placement. I look forward to working with Atika and The J Healthcare Initiative again in the future.

It was a great opportunity and experience for me to work with you. I hope you had an amazing campaign.

Atika from The J Healthcare Initiative was very responsive throughout the project, and provided our students a valuable learning opportunity with this project. Thank you!

Thank you for a valuable learning opportunity for my students. I appreciate your feedback to student presentations. I also appreciate the data you shared with us about your organization so that students could really learn about how to apply the concepts they are learning in this course into the project.

Working with Atika was great. She was always available and open to explore ideas and open to different point of views.

Atika was very supportive over the course of this project, meeting with the team on a bi-weekly basis. She was readily available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer feedback on options presented. It was great to learn more about J Healthcare Initiative and apply lessons from the course to enhance the organization's work.

Working with the grant writing optimization project in J Healthcare Initiative allowed me and my team members great insight into how non-profit organizations work and are funded. Atika was very engaging and very supportive of our work. She regularly met with us to check in our progress, discuss options and provided us with insightful information for our project. It was a pleasure working with Atika and J Healthcare Initiative. Thank you for the opportunity to work on the project!

My time with The J Healthcare Initiative has been highly rewarding, showcasing their commitment to the most urgent public health issues with precision and care. The structured approach and actionable insights of the organization have made the project impactful and educational. The support and encouragement afforded me were invaluable in enhancing my understanding and contributing meaningfully to the work.

Thank you for your leadership and mentorship to our students.

My experience at J Healthcare Initiative has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the organization's commitment to exceptional patient care and professional excellence. I've been impressed by the company's vision and innovative approaches to healthcare delivery. The leadership given to me was extremely helpful and provided a safe space to learn.

The J Healthcare Initiative was a great opportunity for the students to become aware of a hot button and very topical life/death issue and to contribute in a meaningful way to Atika's work.

The experience with JHI was great, the project pushed us to think beyond current boundaries of understanding of the Opioid crisis and current public health intervention

This happens to be an amazing organization that was ready to work with my students on assessing air quality in shelters within the GTA. Due to some barriers, we could not have access to the shelters. Nonetheless, I believe anyone working with this organization stands to benefit from their work.

Working with J Healthcare Initiative was an insightful and tremendous journey. I have learned a lot things through the project. I will always be grateful for the opportunity.
