What We Do:
Research, implementation, knowledge mobilization, and learning health system support for the mental health sector.
We help mental health, community health, and social service organizations become learning organizations—part of a broader learning health system (LHS).
A learning health system is one where data, evidence, and lived experience are continuously collected, shared, and applied to improve services in real time. It’s a continuous cycle of practice → data → knowledge → sustainable change, designed to make care more effective, equitable, and responsive.
In mental health, this means more than just clinical care. The system is deeply connected to community-based, social, and cultural organizations—housing providers, youth services, Indigenous health organizations, schools, peer networks, and many others. All of these partners contribute to the health and well-being of individuals and communities, and all have a role to play in generating and applying learning.
We help you use your own data, experience, and evidence to improve services over time-collaboratively, practically, and sustainably. We don’t just build tools; we help you connect the dots across every stage of the learning cycle.
We believe in learning together. We are excited to connect with organizations asking the same big questions:
How do we learn from what we are already doing?
How do we turn that learning into better outcomes?
How do we build the systems that make that learning possible?
We can help you link all the pieces—from practice to data, from data to knowledge, from knowledge to sustainable change - and repeat.
Targeted Support for Every Phase
You don’t have to tackle the whole learning cycle at once.
We can jump in wherever you need us. Whether that’s capturing what’s happening (practice to data), making sense of your information (data to knowledge), or turning insights into action (knowledge to practice).
Wherever we start, our focus is the same: working alongside you to make each step more connected, meaningful, and impactful.
Capture: Practice to Data
-
Practical, easy-to-use surveys and interview guides tailored to your needs.
-
Data collection integrated into existing workflows for sustainability and usefulness.
-
Hands-on training in ethical, high-quality data gathering, including consent and data ethics.
Problem: You’re doing meaningful work, but lack the tools or systems to measure it—or learn from it.
Solutions:
Understand: Data to Knowledge
Problem: You have data, but don’t know what it’s telling you—or how to use it to guide decisions.
Solutions:
-
Translate raw data into clear insights for teams, stakeholders, and funders.
-
Compelling reports that showcase results and align with funder or partner priorities.
-
Synthesize research to identify solutions and next steps based on best evidence.
Amplify: Knowledge to Practice
Problem: You’ve learned something important—but aren’t sure how to put it into action.
Solutions:
-
Apply insights in ways that fit your context and capacity.
-
Communication strategies that bring findings back to teams in actionable ways.
-
Co-design small-scale tests of new approaches to learn and adapt before scaling.
Connecting the Dots for Continuous Learning
We don’t just help with one part of the process, we support you in connecting the full loop: from practice to data, data to insight, and insight back to practice. Our goal is to help your organization build internal systems that make learning ongoing and meaningful. That means creating feedback loops so you can keep improving your work over time, not just checking boxes. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining what you already have, we help you build a culture of learning, reflection, and action.
Problem: You’ve made progress in parts of the process, but tools don’t connect, insights get lost, and momentum fades.
Solutions:
-
Connect the full loop: practice → data → knowledge → sustainable change.
-
Practical, sustainable systems for reflection, communication, and improvement.
-
Foster a culture of learning, curiosity, and continuous adaptation.
