ECHO
Last session survey results and feedback circulated to hub team; lots of great feedback on SEE session
Next session: Friday, October 2nd on Family Education (Part 1)
Didactic presentation: Vivian and Lillian/FAC members
Case presentation pending, as the original site indicated they can no longer present and other sites have declined (citing time constraints and staffing issues)
Brannon reached out to hub team to see if anyone could deliver a quick case presentation
Dr. Kozloff has kindly offered to provide a case if no one else can
Another back-up option would to use the time for a Q&A session
Implementation/PSSP
Working with PSSP to obtain site admission numbers for Aug and Sept to report at Project Team next week – thanks to Dayna for helping to gather this information!
Update from Waterloo/Al on Peer Support Work presentation content
Instead of utilizing ECHO for the presentation, will move forward with creating a usable resource, like a webinar
Any material that will be presented will be shown to the Steering Committee first
Implementation Calls with Site Leads have had great discussions
Thunder Bay will be hosting a launch party, complete with NAVIGATE face masks!
Patient Measures
Total Referrals received: 50 (Durham: 22; NB: 6; Niagara: 14; Waterloo: 4; Sudbury: 4)
Baseline completed: 22 (Durham: 10; NB: 4, Niagara: 4; Waterloo: 2; Sudbury: 2)
6-month F/U completed: 2

Site Clinic Meetings:
Durham has requested that we attend site meetings biweekly now
Upcoming Thunder Bay research orientation meeting – after this meeting, Thunder Bay will be ready to start referring clients for research
How does the current number of referrals impact the project timeline?
In addition to continuing efforts to ramp up recruitment, we may end up asking for a no-cost extension
Being affected by the pandemic may also give us more flexibility with the timeline
Luckily, the other aims of this work that are not affected by participant numbers are still on schedule
