1. Intro/Context: 5-10%
- Context of toxic stress in Canada
2. Research/Environmental Scan - 40%
- Analysis of how toxic stress impacts kids/youth at different ages and across different circumstances (e.g. ethnocultural background, trauma history, socioeconomic status, urban/rural/Northern, gender, etc.)
- Any similarities/differences
- Any patterns/anomalies?
3. Best and Promising Practices re: toxic stress in youth - 40%
- Best and promising interventions/techniques/strategies nationally and/or globally including:
- WHO is delivering this ‘solution’
- WHY is it successful
- WHAT is innovative or unique about its approach?
- Delivery model (e.g. in-person, peer-to-peer, online, etc.)
- Funders/funding structure (if applicable)
4. Insights & Recommendations - 10%
- Key insight or aha gained through this exploration process (by each Fellow) (5%)
- Recommendation(s) on how we could best Disrupt Toxic Stress on youth from each Fellow’s perspective (5%)
