Advisory Committees

YAC

  • YAC meeting rescheduled for tomorrow

  • Will be discussing e-gift cards, Newsletter and Terms of Reference

  • Updating NAVIGATE manuals?

  • o Based on feedback from last Project Team meeting about language in the NAVIGATE manuals, some YAC members expressed interest in updating the manuals/revising language to be more youth-friendly

  • o We want the YAC and FAC to be involved in this kind of work, but would need to determine how first

  • o This has been on the team’s radar but there are some challenges, including: staying true to Fidelity, lengthy and expensive process, publishing considerations

  • o It would be nice to revise the language together with the digitization of the manuals

  • o While it will take years to revise the manuals and replace old material, as new resources are developed (like e-learnings), we can leverage the expertise of the advisory committees to ensure any future materials are improved.

  • o Augustina is meeting with Sandy next week to discuss how to approach YAC with opportunities and make it clear that implementation takes time, have a session on research vs. QI

  • o We can also do a session on different projects like eNAVIGATE and adapting NAVIGATE for youth without psychosis

  • o No suggestions are wasted, we just may park them to use on other projects.

  • o They are all valuable but may be implemented at various times which are difficult to predict.

  • o It would be helpful to have a more academic perspective on patient engagement and how to work through an issue like this.

    • Include Divya and Simone to objectively measure contributions (e.g. partial, full implementation)

FAC

  • FAC is working on video, will review Terms of Reference, will provide QI feedback for Fidelity reports

  • o FAC members have already done some recordings

  • o Lillian had good conversation with Connie Putterman re: supports that CAMH could provide with YAC and FAC about what it means to be involved in research

    • ♣ Laura and Lillian will work with Connie about setting up workshops/sharing materials

    • Andrea and Laura are coordinating guest/investigator schedules

ECHO

  • Next session on Tuesday Aug 4th on ‘Healthy Lifestyles and Metabolic Factors’ by Dr. Mahavir Agarwal

  • Feedback: have seen a shift in the ECHOs the last few sessions with great engagement.We are heading in a good direction in terms of curriculum and choosing more practical based topics.

  • Expecting good turnout and engagement in this upcoming session based on feedback

  • Will be finalizing our full curriculum soon

  • Working with PSSP for ECHO time change for September onward

  • Brochure created for ECHO Cycle 1 Post Events Report to the accreditation department, this is important when applying for new accreditation
