Phase III of Scaling Nurturing the Future focuses on scaling up an innovative early childhood mental health promotion program within Francophone communities in minority settings across Ontario. Building on previous phases, the project continues to strengthen the capacity of early childhood educators, enhance intersectoral collaboration, and support the integration of practices that promote children’s social and emotional well-being.
This phase introduces new strategies to support sustainability, including training-of-trainers, the development of mental health champions, and ongoing professional learning opportunities. Overall, it aims to embed practices more deeply within participating organizations while expanding the program’s reach at a provincial level.
