Description
An account of the resource
An audit of all operations for Point in Time with regard to the four areas the Childrens Mental Health Organization identify as required for accreditation. These include program, staffing, governance and management.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Point in Time (PINT), a centre for children, youth and parents in Haliburton County, is embarking upon a journey to become accredited by Children's Mental Health Ontario (CMHO). The focus of this research is to develop recommendations for PINT on how to create an evaluation framework.
The report begins includes a brief look at background information on PINT and on the accreditation process. How the CMHO accreditation process operates, and the advantages PINT will gain by becoming accredited are also discussed. These include standards relating to program evaluation, treatment, termination, prevention, formal research, quality assurance, accountability and clinical records.
This study aims to introduce suggestions for an evaluation framework that would aid PINT not only in becoming accredited, but that would also benefit the staff at PINT by providing them with information that they could use to better their services. Recommendations based on literature reviews, case studies, and staff interactions include: to write policy relating to evaluation for every program/area; to have one staff member in charge of quality assurance; mandatory audits of clinical records files; that future planning should include client feedback such as client satisfaction questionnaires; recording client satisfaction results in a database to be used for quality assurance data; using focus groups to gather feedback; and that PINT should begin the process of setting their standards and goals, and developing indicators to measure these goals.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Cottage Dreams is a unique recovery initiative which offers cancer survivors and their supporters a week stay at a cottage in Ontario that have completed their cancer treatment in the past 9 months. The Cottage Dreams staff desired an evaluation that would provide them with information pertaining to how the program facilitated the healing and recovery process of past participants. Evaluators from Trent University designed an evaluation that would examine the effectiveness of the program, the benefits it offers to participants, and the role of the program within the complementary, integrated care approach to healing and recovery. The evaluation consisted of 32 in-depth, open-ended phone interviews with past program participants. The main findings from the research, which were positive in nature, pertained to aspects of healing and recovery that the week at the cottage afforded visitors. Those aspects of healing and recovery which were identified by participants were: a will to live which entails a change in outlook or perspective, being in an environment which is away from everyday life and cancer, being in a natural setting of wildlife and environment, and having time to make emotional connection with others. Each of these elements is a fundamental component within a complementary, integrated approach to healing and recovery and adheres to the Cottage Dreams objectives.
Included in the report are findings about the program itself, which were also positive. Past participants were appreciative of the non-discriminatory nature of the program, the organization’s professionalism, and many were touched by the generosity of cottage donors and the Cottage Dreams staff. The evaluators feel that Cottage Dreams plays an important role in the cancer healing and recovery process and has positively affected the lives of many cancer survivors and their supporters. Taking the comments of past participants into consideration, recommendations have been formulated for Cottage Dreams to consider for future program changes and direction.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The purpose of the current study is to analyze the alternative treatment options, as opposed to traditional sentences, in Haliburton County available for youth with mental health conditions in the criminal justice system. I will determine whether or not the current programs are effective in reducing repeat offending or if improvements need to be made by comparing the programs to ones in the literature. I analyzed interviews with mental health and justice service agency members and compared the data to alternative treatment programs located in the literature and testimonials from people with mental health conditions. I found that the programs in Haliburton are most successful (positively impact youth) in assisting youth when a positive relationship is established before starting counselling and individualized treatment plans are created for each youth, but there was insufficient evidence to determine if the programs did or did not result in a reduction in repeat offending. Many areas presenting issues included the lack of transportation and specialized services in rural areas, lack of educated police, and inaccessible services. I have determined that the programs in Haliburton County are effective for assisting youth with mental health conditions in the justice system, but could be improved upon if the above issues are addressed.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The mental health diversion program in the Four Counties region services many individuals, some of which are young adults between the ages of 18-25. The HSJCC has expressed a desire to study the impact the program has on young adults with mental health issues as well as the community. Aspects of the program were examined such as: the options and costs associated with the program, services utilized by the clients during and after diversion, recidivism, factors that contribute to the crime and court decision, the success rate of the program, and the pressures it places on the court and correction systems. It was determined that the cost of diversion is much lower than incarceration, which in turn contributes positively to the community. Although recidivism rates and an evaluation of services used after diversion is complete were not established, the success rate of the program has shown to be quite high for these young adults. Upon completion of the study, two of the most prominent recommendations made to improve the program were: to implement a follow-up procedure to collect further data on the recidivism rates and services used by clients after their diversion and to introduce pre-charge diversion throughout the Four Counties. Overall, this mental health diversion program has shown to be efficient and beneficial to the client and the community.
