Escaping Evaluation and Research Myths in Integrated Youth Services: An Innovative Strategy for Cultivating Meaningful Relationships

July 4, 2025

This webinar shares how Foundry engaged Youth Peer Support Workers (YPSWs) in evaluation using a playful, collaborative “escape room” activity. Presenters explore how this creative approach helped demystify research, foster reciprocal learning, and amplify youth voices in mental health care. Learn about barriers YPSWs face in evaluation work, and discover strategies to make research more accessible, inclusive, and meaningful.
