Implementation
We help mental health care and peer support providers—and organizations—improve the well-being of Canadian Veterans and their Families.
We recognize the commitment service providers have to delivering the best care and supports to Veterans and their Families. We support practitioners and organizations through a variety of evidence-based implementation resources and training opportunities.
Purpose
“The goal of implementation science is to integrate research and practice in ways that improve the outcomes of those being served.”
Implementation translates into four steps:
- Taking promising practices from research
- Adapting these practices to your context as service providers
- Using these practices consistently
- Seeing positive results
Introducing and sustaining change is difficult. We recommend only proven implementation strategies to support changes in your practice. Atlas is your partner in this process, providing you with the guidance you need to succeed.
Support for your practice
Implementing an evidence-based practice, program, or policy to improve the mental health of Veterans and their Families can be a challenge. We provide support to anyone who wants to put one of these into effect. We offer a wide range of assistance to many different types of service providers. There are important factors to consider and questions to ask when exploring how Atlas can lend our resources to aid your success.
