Projects 

    CCBR typically has 15-20 ongoing projects and has completed over 500 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.

    Projects can be searched for using words from the project title or using the service area, theme, or date range for the project. You can also type 'Service Area' or 'Theme' into the search bar to get a list of options in each of these fields.

    Projects

    The purpose of the project was to develop and deliver 14 leadership development events across Ontario. This project involved civic participation of cultural minorities and institutional change by eliminating systemic barriers in the mental health system. This project was funded by Citizenship Immigration Canada.

    CCBR analyzed survey data and prepared 18 regional program profiles and two provincial synthesis reports of access mechanisms and case/service resolution mechanisms in Ontario. This project was funded by the Ontario Ministry of Child and Youth Services.

    The purpose of this national research project was to 1) explore how and to what extent established Canadian churches welcome and include recent immigrants in their church-life, and 2) determine the necessary strategies and structures that would better facilitate the active participation of recent immigrants within Canadian churches. This project was funded by World Vision.

    CCBR developed and delivered a half-day logic model building workshop and constructed core evaluation questions regarding service resolution mechanisms in Wellington-Waterloo-Dufferin. This project was funded by Trellis Mental Health and Developmental Services.

    With guidance from the Peel Human Service Justice Coordinating Committee, research was undertaken to examine policies and practices of mental health and other community organizations in the area of risk assessment and management. This research was funded by Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Peel Region.

    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. The purpose was to provide information to the community and to help them learn more about how programming at Turtle House Art/Play Theatre might respond effectively to their needs.

    CCBR conducted three community consultations for the United Way Greater Simcoe County (UWGSC) focused on community impacts and outcomes.

    CCBR performed an evaluation in order to understand and describe the operation of Peer Health Worker Program, designed to employ people with lived experiences of homelessness. The evaluation sought to identify the factors that facilitated and impeded the project's success, and it suggested further recommendations. The evaluation was funded by Kitchener Downtown Community Health Centre.

    CCBR compiled system level data on patient flow and access and developed an evaluation of the model of care for The North and East GTA Stroke Team at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. The goal was to mobilize new knowledge on innovative practice to inform stroke care across the province and LIHN planning.
