RBC Patient and Family Learning Space Summer Practicum: Policy, Program and Evaluation Development

The RBC Patient and Family Learning Space (PFLS) at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is a
non-clinical educational program that aims to increase mental health literacy through workshops, patient education resources, and navigational support. The PFLS is open to CAMH patients, families, and the general public. The PFLS launched in November 2021 with 3 staff and limited resources. As the number of people entering the space and accessing our programming grows, the demands on our staff also grows,
highlighting the need for standardizing our processes, increasing programming opportunities and developing a robust program evaluation plan. We are looking to support two interns, one student from the University of Toronto and one from Western University, to help us create new programming, evaluate the overall program and draft an onboarding manual for new staff, volunteers and students joining the program.
