Call for Expression of Interest: Data Analytics and Evaluation Project 

FamilySmart’s vision is that families and other caring adults have greater knowledge and capacity to connect with and support the mental health of children, youth, and young adults. Our commitment to child and youth mental health started 23 years ago and it continues to grow as does the number and complexity of mental health challenges impacting children, youth, and young adults. 

We help children and young people by helping their families and other caring adults. We know that children and young people do better when the adults who care about them are supported. 

FamilySmart continually collects feedback on all its programs and services in order to know our reach and understand what is helpful to parents, caregivers, and others accessing our programs and services. The large amount of data collected is for both our funders and for FamilySmart who use the feedback to make improvements to our programs and services.
