Cheryl Regehr is the Vice-Provost of Academic Programs for the University of Toronto. Former Dean of the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, she is a Professor in the Faculty of Social Work, and has cross-appointments to the Faculty of Law and the Institute for Medical Sciences at University of Toronto.
Dr. Regehr’s practice background includes over 20 years of direct service in forensic social work and emergency mental health and in the administration of mental health programs, specializing in civil litigation and criminal court assessments of trauma victims and violent offenders, and organizationally based trauma interventions. She was the director of the Crisis Response Team at Pearson International Airport, served on the mental health advisory for the Department of National Defence and Veteran’s Affairs Canada, and currently is a member of the Board of Trustees for the University Health Network. In 2004, she was awarded the Amicus Award by the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law for her contributions to forensic mental health.
Dr. Regehr’s program of research has two intersecting components 1) competency in professional practice; and 2) examining aspects of recovery from trauma in such diverse populations as victims of rape, firefighters, police and paramedics witnessing traumatic events and child welfare workers. Her current funded research includes examining the factors influencing clinical decision making in social workers and professional competency. Her publications address measurement of competency, trauma, and the interface between the law and mental health. Dr. Regehr has three books with Oxford University Press entitled “In the Line of Fire: Trauma in the Emergency Services”, “Essential Law for Social Work Practice in Canada” and “Mental Health Social Work Practice in Canada” and one book with Jones and Bartlett entitled “Victimology”.
