Exciting new challenge!

22 06 2011

Change is in the air, along with an exciting new challenge for Karen Smith, EnMark Associates’ owner and principal consultant. In August, Karen will be joining the Community Child Abuse Council of Canada as Executive Director. She’s already built a strong rapport with the agency over the past several years and looks forward to this new challenge.

Karen remains at the helm of EnMark Associates, but will be only selectively involved with the firm’s projects while settling in to her new full-time post. Most projects will be serviced by the firm’s talented team of Associates. Karen is looking forward to working with the Council’s dynamic board, talented staff team, and community partners and will be devoting her attention to these new challenges for the foreseeable future.

Clients of EnMark Associates and those wishing to reach Karen about the firm’s work can continue to do so through this site.

Mental Health Funding

Yesterday, the federal government announced funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada totaling more than $5 million to support “three projects in Ontario that aim to improve mental health among children and youth in low-income families in urban, rural and Aboriginal communities. This funding covers both Phase I and Phase II of a $27 million national funding announcement by the Government of Canada. Through the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Innovation Strategy, this funding seeks to improve the mental health of vulnerable populations in communities across Canada.”

The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre in Toronto is receiving more than $2.6 million for its training program, Handle With Care, for parents and child care workers. Across Boundaries, a mental health centre in Toronto, is receiving a total of $580,709 for a youth project. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, in London, Ontario will receive more than $2.6 million for the school-based program The Fourth R: Promoting Youth Well-being through Healthy Relationships.
