  1. School Based Mental Health and Substance Abuse Consortium A national team of researchers and practitioners committed to synthesizing and sharing evidence-based, practice-relevant knowledge about child and youth mental health in schools. The School-Based Mental Health and Substance Abuse Consortium (SBMHSA Consortium) was formed in response to a request for proposals from the Mental Health Commission of Canada in 2009. 40 leading researchers and practitioners from across the country were assembled to create and implement the proposal. As successful recipients of this MHCC contract, a core team of 15 members was selected to carry out the four main aspects of the project. Our Teams: Review Team (Lead, Dr. Charles Ungerleider, DIRECTIONS Evidence & Policy Research Group) This team will conduct a systematic review of the scientific literature related to SBMHSA. Survey Team (Lead, Dr. Charles Ungerleider, DIRECTIONS EPRG) This team will create and administer a national survey related to implementation issues involved in SBMHSA. Scan Team (Lead, Dr. Ian Manion, Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health) This team will conduct a national scan of SBMHSA programs and models currently in use in Canadian schools. Knowledge Translation and Exchange Team (Lead, Dr. Kathy Short, E-BEST, Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board) This team will create ways to share knowledge gathered through Consortium work with key stakeholders, and will help MHCC to stimulate further action in this area. Timelines: The SBMHSA Consortium project runs from spring 2009 through summer 2012. We will be seeking stakeholder input throughout. Findings will begin to be released in Winter 2011. Get Involved! Do you know of a promising or proven program that is currently being used in a Canadian school district? The Scan Team is currently accepting nominations. Contact DespinaPapadopoulous (DPapadopoulos@cheo.on.ca) to participate. Look for the National SBMHSA Survey in the field in Spring 2011. Please share the link widely within your networks. The Knowledge Translation and Exchange Team is currently looking for opportunities to engage with audiences about the Consortium work.
