Description

Children and youth with autism who have co-occurring mental health challenges struggle to access mental health treatments due to limited service provider capacity and siloed service delivery models. Our project goal is to develop and deliver bilingual service provider training to autism and mental health service providers to build sector capacity in delivering integrated mental health services for autistic children and youth. The objective of this training is to support professionals to improve their expertise in treating and supporting children and youth with co-occurring autism and mental health challenges and their families.

Autism Ontario in working with Dr. Jonathan Weiss, have been contracted by CMHO to develop curriculum and deliver English foundational and advanced training. The successful vendor will work with CMHO and collaborate with Autism Ontario and Dr. Weiss to adapt and deliver Dr. Weiss’s foundational and advanced training curriculum to francophone mental health and autism providers in Ontario in French. The ideal vendor has clinical experience within the CYMH and autism sector and has experience facilitating trainings. The training will be hosted virtually between January-March 2023.

The vendor will also support 1 provincial community of practice for the duration of the project, including attending 7 sessions between February 2023-March 2024. The community of practice is for francophone practitioners who complete advanced training. The Vendor’s role at the community of practice is to answer questions and provide clarification to attendees as they implement their learning from the training.

In September 2023, the vendor will host 3 one-hour virtual booster sessions to Francophone providers who have completed the advanced training. Booster sessions content will be determined through evaluations and needs that emerge through the community of practice. The Vendor will work with CMHO and collaborate with Dr. Weiss to determine session topics.

The successful Vendor will work with CMHO’s Project Team, Autism Ontario, and Dr. Weiss to execute these deliverables.
