Last year, CMHO launched the 'Home-Based Services Network' Discussion Forum on behalf of the Home Based Services Network. This forum facilitates networking, and functions like a Community of Practice - allowing members to share tacit knowledge.
HOW IT WORKS
The Forum is housed within the 'Members Only' section of CMHO's website (kidsmentalhealth.ca). In order to access the Forum, you will first need to login* to the 'Members Only' section.
