CH&E Specialist (Integration & Implementation Specialist) - Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario
About the role
Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO, www.youthhubs.ca) is a network of 32, Integrated Youth Services (IYS) hubs where young people ages 12 to 25 years have walk-in access to youth-centered, community based mental health and wellness services informed by youth, family members and service providers. The hubs are provincially-consistent in core features and locally led and adapted to offer and connect to a range of evidence-based services – mental health care, substance use, primary care, education, employment, housing, peer support, family support and care navigation – in youth-friendly spaces. Outcomes are rigorously evaluated within and across hubs focusing on positive outcomes in areas of wellness important to youth and their families. This initiative engages youth, family members and other partners through a co-creation process, ensuring services are designed and delivered according to their needs.
The YWHO Provincial Office (PO) at the Centre for Addiction and Mental
Health (CAMH) is seeking a full-time, permanent CH&E Specialist (Integration and Implementation Specialist, PreVenture). This position will report to the Manager of Early Intervention and Prevention. The Integration and Implementation Specialist will play a key role in supporting an Integrated Youth Services (IYS) delivery model within local YWHO networks and community partners, including the implementation of the PreVenture program. PreVenture is an evidence-based prevention program that uses personality-focused interventions to promote mental health and delay substance use among youth (aged 12-18). YWHO PO in partnership with School-Mental Health Ontario (SMH-ON), is supporting the implementation of the PreVenture program in school boards across province, in collaboration with local YWHO Networks. YWHO is also supporting delivery of the program in community, through additional partners and youth-serving agencies.
The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the Early Intervention
and Prevention team as well as the Integration and Implementation Team to bring specific expertise in the areas of Implementation Science, Quality Improvement, change management, partner engagement and co-development, knowledge mobilization and system change. The successful candidate will have a strong background in anti-oppressive and anti-racist practice, excellent knowledge of equity frameworks and tools, and significant experience supporting others to identify, prioritize, and develop equity-focused actions that advance meaningful and sustained change. The Integration and Implementation Specialist will support the active involvement of Indigenous communities and service providers in all stages of implementation, providing tailored and contextualized support at an agency and system level, including active outreach and engagement with Indigenous and First Nations-led organizations and communities as well as the development of implementation tools and the ongoing support of program implementation and development with First Nations and Indigenous communities within Ontario.
