Leveraging integrated youth services (IYS) for social prescribing
Mental health service use among youth continues to be low while treatment for substance use has been found insufficient at meeting youth needs. Youth seeking services commonly experience multiple internalizing and externalizing difficulties as well as other challenges, such as substance use, that, when are unaddressed or under-addressed, can lead to poor developmental outcomes. The need for quality integrated services addressing these issues conc…

This research adopts a resource dependency approach to support the process of social innovation application within the context of nonprofit resource procurement using a comparative sample of re- source-providing organizations (n = 8) and nonprofit resource recipients (n = 10). An organizational discourse analysis was adopted to explore concepts of power and legitimacy across groups revealing several ways that social innovation is employed and cha…
Social Entrepreneurial Orientation in Nonprofits
Social entrepreneurship within the nonprofit sector has gained popularity as a concept informing the management of high functioning human service organizations. However, research has neglected to quantitatively test and measure factors contributing to this multidimensional model. Addressing this gap, this research collected primary data on executive directors ( n = 306) of human service nonprofit organizations in Canada to validate a pre-identifi…
Partnership Dynamics That Support Social Innovation by Nonprofits
This research identifies conditions of intra- and cross-sector partnerships with nonprofit organizations that lead to social innovation development. Primary survey data were collected from a nationally focused sample of executive directors in Canada ( n = 720) on two valid and reliable multifactor measures, including partnership dynamics for social innovation and human services social innovation . Results of a multivariate regression analysis fou…
It’s a win for the clinic, it’s a win for the frontline, but, most importantly, it’s a win for the client”
With adequate training and supervision, non-regulated CHWs should be allowed to provide certain HIV prevention services such as rapid HIV testing. A provincial, publicly funded program for PrEP is recommended
Exploring inter‐ and intra‐organisational dynamics supporting task‐shifting opportunities in Aids service organisations
Task-shifting of combination sexual health services from clinicians to community workers has been well-studied in low-resource settings, but lacks empirical examination as a response to service inequities in North American community-based AIDS service organisations (ASOs). This study adopts a qualitative exploratory approach to understanding how ASOs may support task-shifting for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), drawing …
Measuring a Nonprofit’s Civic Footprint
It is widely recognized that nonprofit organizations provide benefits to society such as goods and services that promote social well-being, activities fostering social inclusion and cohesion, and community spaces and opportunities for minority interests. To understand these particular civic benefits and the contributions of nonprofit organizations, we use the metaphor of the ‘civic footprint.’ To develop a model of a nonprofit organizations’ civi…

Worker experiences of workload is a poorly understood component of health and safety practice in the social services sector. Job Demands-Resources theory is applied to explore how workload contributes to health and safety, workplace violence, and violence prevention. Data from qualitative interviews ( n = 81) of workers in publicly administered social services in Western Canada were analyzed using analytic induction and constant comparison method…
Factors Shaping Public Perceptions of Market-based Activities Undertaken by Canadian Nonprofits
Charitable nonprofits are engaging at increasing rates in market-based activities. This study examined Canadian public perception of nonprofits’ market-based activities. Latent variables for trust, financial accountability, transparency, direct and general familiarity, understanding of nonprofit roles in service delivery and advocacy, and orientation towards market-based activities were created using a secondary dataset of nationally representati…
Assessing the Social Impact of Mental Health Service Accessibility by a Nonprofit Social Enterprise

A novel approach to case study – a mixed methods design was developed by collecting data from service users, counsellors, and community members of a social enterprise in Toronto, Ontario, using qualitative interviews and the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule (MAKS) su…
Trauma-Informed Organizational Dynamics and Client Outcomes in Concurrent Disorder Treatment
Purpose: To test an empirical model of the effects of a trauma-informed organizational environment on service user outcomes in the context of concurrent disorder treatment. Methods: Service users ( n = 172) were surveyed while in treatment to determine the effects of trauma-informed organizational dynamics (i.e., safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment) on service user intrapersonal development outcomes (i.e., self-awareness, outloo…
Social Service Worker Experiences with Direct and Indirect Violence When Engaged with Service Users
Social service workers’ experiences of violence from service users (client-engaged violence) in social service workplaces are serious and pervasive issues that demand responsive and effective organisational interventions. However, organisational factors and characteristics that have an effect on worker experiences of client-engaged violence are poorly defined. This study utilised a quantitative design to identify and measure aspects of the organi…
Dynamics of a culture of workplace safety in human service organizations
Workplace cultures are an important component in creating safe work environments. In-depth qualitative interviews ( n = 85) were conducted with human service workers of a large publicly administered human service organization in Canada to learn more about the organizational and/or workplace conditions that contribute to a safety culture. Findings reveal that a safety culture within this human service workplace is defined by values or attitudes as…
Exploring Intersecting Program Elements in Longer-Term Concurrent Disorder Services for Adults
Previous research highlights multiple factors that impact the attainment of client-identified recovery goals in substance misuse treatment programs. However, fewer studies examine how programs meet the broad range of needs expressed by clients through their intersecting elements of service delivery. This study seeks to develop an understanding of intersecting program and recovery elements in relation to an overall framework for programming, focus…
A Multi-Dimensional Conceptual Framework for Trauma-Informed Practice in Addictions Programming
Previous research has conceptualized trauma-informed practice in relation to five key values: safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. This research identifies key organizational, programmatic, and interpersonal characteristics in community-based residential addictions treatment programming that exemplify each of these principles. Utilizing qualitative research methods, involving open-ended, one to one interviews with clients in res…
