Customized Training

Learning Institute

Bring your team together – virtually or in person, with customized training

Does your organization have a group of 10 or more employees with similar learning goals? For more than 20 years, SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health Learning Institute has been developing custom-designed education and training programs to help organizations meet specific learning objectives, improve client outcomes and build capacity.

We work with community agencies, government bodies, school boards, and other social service organizations to design and execute custom programs that can be delivered through live virtual sessions or safely distanced in-person experiences.

“The SickKids CCMH LI team (Erin and Ruth) provided CBT Level 1 training to our team of Child and Youth Counsellors. We anticipated that the organization of the training would be impeded by the restrictions imposed at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the team made the organization and delivery of online training seamless. The training was well-received by all of our counsellors, who have various levels of experience in this field.”

– Gaynor Edwards, Georgian Bay Family Health Team
