Recognizing the need for enhanced capacity to understand and implement effective knowledge exchange initiatives, the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s (MHCC) Knowledge Exchange Centre (KEC) will begin hosting an annual nine-month SPARK Training Institute with the overall goal of improving the capacity for implementing effective knowledge exchange practices in the field of mental health, substance use and addictions.
The SPARK Training Institute commences with a two-day in-person workshop in St. John’s, Newfoundland on July 11 - 12, 2012.
Benefits
Fellows receive a fully funded nine-month knowledge exchange (KE) training experience; including:
- Two days of on-site training (fully funded) from internationally respected KE experts who will blend experiential and didactic learning, in order for fellows to acquire the necessary skills to develop a full KE plan to take away and implement;
- Ongoing mentoring that will support the delivery of a KE learning event, based on the onsite training opportunity, at their home organization within three months of the on-site training;
- A digital learning event six months following the on-site training to help overcome any barriers that have been experienced while attempting to implement the KE plan;
- An online community of practice.
