Program overview
As new mental health professionals begin to engage with patients and families on their own, it’s beneficial for their supervisors to be able to observe and guide their work. Family of Support funds have helped to enable the creation and operation of 10 specially equipped therapy and observation rooms that support this objective while protecting the comfort and privacy of patients and families.
Technology-supported training and observation rooms
CHU Sainte-Justine has created seven new rooms for therapy and three for observation, all with audiovisual equipment and other technology that lets supervisors discreetly evaluate and guide the training of the next generation of mental health leaders. The rooms let early-career professionals enhance their practice, ultimately benefiting patients.
How Family of Support Funding Has Helped
Family of Support funds have helped CHU Sainte-Justine to:
- Support care and training simultaneously (activity that has widespread impact, as CHU Sainte-Justine’s training activity ultimately benefits about 80% of pediatricians in Quebec)]
- Make capital improvements that will benefit patients for many years
- Advance the entire hospital’s conversations and policies on telehealth norms of practice.
