About Us

With gratitude, we recognize and reaffirm that the Changemark head office is located on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We thank the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Peoples for stewarding this land since Time Immemorial and keeping it healthy and strong for future generations. We also acknowledge with humility and gratitude that our work also takes place on sovereign Indigenous lands and traditional territories across Turtle Island.

WHo WE ARE

We saw a need to rethink how services are delivered to the mental health and substance use sector.

After 20 years working in the field, Changemark’s Founder Jill Fikowski saw a need to rethink how research and evaluation services are delivered to the field. She saw:

Non-profit organizations with limited resources available to demonstrate the impact of important community programs
Research teams entering the field with little to no training in working with people with lived and living experience
Well-resourced for-profit companies in need of roadmaps to setup sound and ethical research programs
Government agencies that would benefit from third-party writers, evaluators and analysts to transform evidence to policy
Organizations that were in need of a better understanding of decolonizing approaches in service delivery and research that enabled Indigenous self determination
