Learning Communities and Evaluation Coordinator, ACCESS Open Minds Indigenous Youth Mental Health and Wellness Network
The ACCESS Open Minds Indigenous Youth Mental Health and Wellness Network is a national Network dedicated to enhancing mental health and wellness for First Nations, Inuit and Métis youth in Canada. Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), this Network is led by Dr. Christopher Mushquash (Lakehead University, Ontario) and Dr. Srividya Iyer (Douglas Research Centre, affiliated with McGill University, Quebec).
This exciting research program aims to develop, implement, and evaluate culturally grounded Indigenous youth mental health and wellness services; increase and strengthen knowledge, capacities, workforce and next-generation leadership; expand and strengthen “data” collection (stories, experiences, numbers, etc.), and integrate Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing into learning health systems (learning communities). The Network draws upon the collective experience and wisdom of Network members, encompassing national Indigenous organizations, Elders, Knowledge Holders, youth, community members and leaders, family members and carers, provincial and territorial IYS networks, and both Indigenous and allied service providers, researchers, students and trainees.
The Network is seeking a Learning Communities and Evaluation Coordinator to join our growing team. This position will play a key role in developing, implementing, supporting, and coordinating the Network’s Learning Communities initiative, and supporting evaluation-related Network initiatives. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong initiative and ability to build strong relationships with diverse stakeholders.
