Projects 

    CCBR typically has 15-20 ongoing projects and has completed over 450 projects since 1982. Each project is guided by our commitment to impacting social change in practical and powerful ways. We conduct research with people not on people, cultivating respect with communities at every step of the process.

    The purpose of this evaluation was to verify the extent to which the participating service providers met the Service Delivery Standards relevant to their services and honour the Common Values and Practices. CCBR conducted evaluation of four Employment Sector Council of London/Middlesex (ESCLM) members organizations, including ATN Access, Goodwill Industries, Pathways and Youth Opportunities Unlimited (YOU).

    Programs Without Walls, a network of several family service agencies providing CAPC programming, asked CCBR to talk directly with the parents they work with to learn more about their perspectives on successful parenting. A report was created outlining participants’ assumptions about parenting and about what supports, and barriers affect their success. This work was funded by Macaulay Child Development Centre.

    CCBR created and administered an online survey of consumers, family members, and service providers regarding mental health and addictions services and system planning. The study was funded by the Core Action Group of the Waterloo-Wellington Mental Health and Addictions Network.

    CCBR provided training, tools, and support to Outreach Workers working with families from specific cultural groups in the community to share about the program.
