Contract position to August 31, 2024 with extension contingent on funding.
School Mental Health Ontario (SMH-ON) works together with Ontario school districts to support student mental health. As a provincial implementation support team, SMH-ON provides leadership, resources, implementation coaching and a community of practice in order to promote the uptake, scaling, and sustainability of evidence-informed, implementation-sensitive, identity-affirming and culturally responsive practices in school mental health. SMH-ON serves the 60 English and 12 French school boards in Ontario, remote school authorities, and provincial and demonstration schools. The team works alongside the Ministry of Education and has a role within the wider system of care, linking with partner ministries and organizations to advance child and youth mental health.
We are currently offering a (paid) summer 2024 research internship (with possibility of extension). In this role, the School Mental Health Research, Evaluation & Monitoring Intern would provide research support regarding the monitoring of evidence-informed, identity-affirming school mental health practices at the provincial and board level. The successful candidate will be equity-minded and will have a background and understanding of mental health and education, research methods, as well as implementation science and its application to school settings.
At SMH-ON, we recognize diversity as a source of organizational strength. We welcome applications from those who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing student mental health with a clear focus on human rights, and on reducing disproportionality and disparity in outcomes. Those with experience in serving racialized communities, and those with identities that have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, will bring particular assets that are highly valued within the organization.
