Agreed our collective energy as a Support Team would focus on... Infant Mental Health Promotion Training The Infant Mental Health training continues to be available to all members of the CYPT. The Social Planning Associate will work with Corie (as Host of the training) and Kim Sanguesa at the Region of Waterloo (as funder of the training) to explore requirements/preferences for evaluating the training. Capture informal feedback into the evaluation efforts Developing Criteria for Training This work is already underway particularly thinking about criteria for content (a and Shared focus on belonging Foundation), cost and credibility. We need to keep the COVID context in mind to be nimble and responsive Can the CYPT website be a one-stop shop for all COVID related supports/resources/training Some work can be done to connect CPLC with the CYPT Communication Advisory Team We can and need to think differently about the delivery method for training and Communities of Practice Communication Moving so much online (training, resources, etc ) due to COVID has both improved accessibility and created a barrier for some (limitation with comfort level; timing of meetings/training) Overall evaluation Is there a set of good evaluation questions for any training that is promoted/supported via the CPLC? Can we work with the CYPT Data Team to think about evaluation but also to explore capacity development related to data, research and evaluation?
