nursing mental health research health policy minority groupsOverview
Community Engaged Learning at MacEwan University is a project-based, teaching-learning strategy that connects classroom theory to challenges experienced in the “real world” by our Community Partners. There are no fees for community partners.
Partnership opportunity: Psychiatric nursing students working in small teams to identify and address gaps in community mental health support.
Does your organization connect with people struggling with mental health? Fourth year psychiatric nursing students can help you research an issue, provide a resource, create an infographic or other useful tool to support your work. The purpose is to create an innovative and evidence-based action plan to promote health equity in identified populations or groups.
The instructor and Community Partnership Developer will select project in early Dec. They will confirm with the selected CPs by the end of Dec. In Jan, you will virtually meet with your student team to brief them and answer questions.
Learners
Each community partner will receive a final research report using Participatory Action Research (PAR) guidelines with an action plan artifact relevant to the community and population. These communication artifacts will vary depending on the intended audience and purpose of the communication but could be:
• An infographic
• Concept Map
• Health promotion strategy
• Map (service access points)
• Health access information
• Blog
• Video clip
• Web page
