Knowledge translation of best available current evidence related to:  \na. OT’s role in mental health promotion, prevention and intervention with children and youth;  \nb. Integrated services in natural school environments  \nc. Implementation of Every Moment Counts’ model programs and embedded strategies for: classroom, cafeteria, recess, after-school, specials (art, music, PE) [use of website]  \nHow?  \n• Reading new knowledge from relevant books and website resources  \n• Face-to-face sessions to build community  \n• Reflection –either via online discussions or small group meetings on how to apply to practice in one’s context  \n• Conscious planning of how to change – based on practice setting  \n2. Community of Practice (CoP) -Mechanism for fostering knowledge translation; build community; share ideas and support  \na. Invite a group of OTs and OTAs who have a vested interest in and commitment to addressing the mental health needs of children and youth (participants need to have the time to do this)  \nb.
