Thunder Bay site meeting this week went very well. Feedback on what was beneficial:
Slaight team posed questions to get dialogue going, reflect on practice changes since implementing NAV
It was helpful for site lead to encourage team ahead of time to be prepared to ask questions and discuss their experiences
Family and youth advisory representatives provided their valuable insights

Site Updates
Sudbury
Developing a process to collect data continuously instead of retrospectively, have not settled on a method yet and would be helpful to hear how other sites are doing this
The team is still growing an learning, and there are no concerns
Waterloo
Trying to gather data on feedback from clients who say no to participating in research, and have students coming in who can help with this
Had first family discharge group, inspired by NAV
North Bay
Current case load at 24 with people on waitlist
Have 1 clinician right now who is covering other clinician's clients while they are on leave
Thunder Bay
Had a wonderful site visit yesterday with the team, was great to share our experiences and discuss some areas we want to look at and allowed us to see that we have been involved for 4-5 months with implementation and took time to review some challenges with SEE role/COVID
Was wonderful to hear from FAC and YAC representatives about their experiences to help reinforce what we are doing
We had a good start to implementing and some areas we want to review and change things up
Family Advisory Committee
Family advisors have been enthusiastic about participating and are attending ECHOs and site meetings
Youth Advisory Group
Youth advisors are actively writing scripts for their upcoming video to showcase their lived/living experience with psychosis, self-care, and their involvement in the project
At meetings, advisors have been sharing their experiences and discussing feedback about conveying this for the video
Karleigh, Youth Engagement Coordinator at CAMH is helping to facilitate video creation using an animation program since the group cannot come together to film the video

Family Participants
