CCBR provided evaluation support for Raising the Bar on Quality, an Affiliated Services for Children & Youth (ASCY) program designed to help child care providers ensure children are receiving high quality early learning and child care services.

CCBR developed a national outcomes framework with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada (BGCC). The framework articulated the central goals of the BGCC program model and the theory of change that specifies the links between the model and measurable outcomes. This framework was used to advance the research and evaluation capacity of BGCC and to market the organizational mandate to community partners.

CCBR conducted a small formative evaluation of recovery-focused crisis planning in the area of mental health and addictions in Waterloo-Wellington-Dufferin. The study was intended to better understand crisis planning practices in the region, with a specific focus on a crisis planning tool called the Recovery Support Plan (RSP). The evaluation was funded by Trellis Mental Health and Development Services.

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.
