Meeting the Challenges in Implementing Evidence-Based Practices and Treatments
Jane Tallim and I have the opportunity to deliver a series of workshops across Ontario, on implementing evidence-based practice.
These workshops are organized and hosted by
Safeguards: Children's Services Training.
The
description of the workshops is below:
The Provincial Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health at CHEO is committed to facilitating your use of evidence-based practices and treatments. In this workshop, Peter Levesque and Jane Tallim explore evidence-based practice and treatment and how it relates to child and youth mental health. They also discuss the challenges encountered by service providers in implementing these in their daily practice and provide strategies for overcoming these challenges.
Learning Outcomes:
In this practical interactive workshop, participants will learn to enhance their current work by better understanding the tools, methods, and supports available for implementing evidence-based and evidence-informed practices and treatments. Some of the issues to be addressed include: What is evidence? Why is it important to meeting the mental health care needs of children, youth and families? How do I find out about evidence-based practices and treatments? How do I judge their quality? How do I select the most appropriate ones to introduce in my work? What does my organization need to do to increase the chances of successfully introducing new practices and treatments? Finally, the workshop will also ask what the Centre can do to further facilitate your use of evidence-based practices and treatments.
