Community Setting
Here you will find resources to support families, professionals and community-based organizations (e.g., recreation programs) who support children’s participation in life environments as well as descriptions of our research.
Here are some key aspects of community settings:
Family Support:
Offer resources and support for families, recognizing that family involvement is crucial for a child's development. Families can attend our Workshops, learn more about studies or explore our resources.
Professional Development:
Professionals working with children, such as educators, therapists, or social workers, may have access to training and workshops to enhance their skills and knowledge in supporting children's participation in various environments.
Community-Based Programs:
Check out Child-Bright's Jooay App: Promoting Participation in Leisure where you can find recreation programs, after-school activities, or community events tailored to children's interests and needs. These programs aim to provide opportunities for children to engage in meaningful activities and develop social skills.
Research and Evaluation:
We conduct research to better understand children's needs and evaluate the effectiveness of programs and interventions. This research can inform decision-making and help improve services for children and families.
Collaboration and Networking:
Collaboration between different stakeholders, such as families, professionals, and community organizations, is key to creating a supportive environment for children. Networking opportunities allow for the exchange of ideas, resources, and best practices. See our Get Involved section.
Overall, community settings focused on supporting children's participation in life environments play a vital role in promoting the well-being and development of children, as well as strengthening families and communities as a whole.
