About Us

Learning Through Research & Collaboration

All tools on this website were created through a collaborative and iterative process. Community voices shaped each step of the process, from its conception to this final website. 

Our Process

Each IMPACT tool was developed through this three-step process. Care was taken to ensure that each tool was developed, piloted, and evaluated before being refined. This process helped ensure that all tools are grounded in evidence and informed by the experience and guidance of community members with lived/living experiences and those at the frontlines of delivering mental health care to individuals with FASD and their families.

 

Although these tools have undergone an extensive development process, we know that continued feedback is essential to keep the IMPACT tools responsive to the needs of individuals. If you have any suggestions on how these tools can be further improved, expanded, or applied, please let us know your thoughts by contacting us using the button below.

1

Development

The tools were developed based on interviews with service providers, caregivers, and individuals with FASD. Mental health services across Alberta were reviewed in an environmental scan, and service providers across Alberta completed a survey. The IMPACT community partner group reviewed the tools and provided feedback.

2

Testing

Partner organizations implemented the tools in their practice and offered feedback and suggestions by completing surveys and interviews.

3

Refinement

The tools were updated and edited based on all the feedback collected.

Meet the Team

From research to community, meet the folks who make IMPACT impactful.
