The Provincial Training Initiative (PTI) is a multi-year project collaboration between Children’s Mental Health Ontario and the Lead Agency Consortium that will increase the number of child and youth mental health clinicians trained to deliver evidence-based treatment designed for children and youth with complex and significant mental health needs. The mandate of PTI is to build and implement a sustainable and supported provincial training model to improve the availability, consistency, and delivery of evidence-based clinical treatment modalities across the province. The project is rooted in a vision that aims to ensure children and youth with complex and significant mental health needs will have consistent access to appropriate high-quality evidence based intensive treatment services within their communities across the province. SRDC has been engaged to conduct the Phase 2 Evaluation of PTI, including process, outcomes, and economic evaluations. Results will help inform future enhancements or expansions of PTI as well as processes and structures for other provincial initiatives.
