Research to Practice Webinar Series 2 - De la recherche aux pratiques série de webinaires 2
Mentor Canada launched its second Research into Practice Webinar Series (Winter 2022) which showcased the latest research related to youth mentoring as well as innovative programs practices.
This first webinar of its series bridged what we have learned from the children's mental health field to the mentoring field in relation to parent involvement in services for youth with mental health challenges.
Guest speaker Martha McCormack, Ph.D. Candidate from Portland State University, joined the conversation by sharing her research agenda focused on the perceptions and experiences of parents about mentoring for youth with mental health challenges. She presented her dissertation which involves the study of parent stress and how that affects the development of the parent-mentor alliance in mentor-youth relationships for youth with mental health challenges.
