Any financial costs are the responsibility of the organization seeking to implement the program.
Step 1: Licensing Agreement Process
- Submit a proposal to the Government of Canada outlining how the training and program would be implemented and sustained over multiple years. There is a template for the proposal available by contacting DCA.public.inquiries@phac-aspc.gc.ca.
- Once the plan is accepted, the Government of Canada develops a licensing agreement for signature between the government and the organization. There is no cost for the agreement.
Step 2: Implementation
- The program resources, training manuals and parent kit are a mandatory requirement of the program.
- The training materials and parent resources may need to be translated to ensure that they are culturally appropriate for program facilitators and participants.
- It is expected that the parent kits are provided to participants free of charge.
- The Government of Canada will provide the materials in English and/or French. Other languages may be available from other organizations.
- Implement the first stage of the multi-year plan to train facilitators, trainers and eventually master trainers. The initial facilitator and trainer trainings will involve either:
- contracting a certified trainer from Canada
- paying for interested participants to travel to Canada to participate in training. The Government of Canada can assist in finding an appropriate trainer or training sessions.
- Implement program for parents. Continue to increase level of training for facilitators, trainers and eventually master trainers.
- Provide annual reports to the Government of Canada on program implementation to demonstrate the reach and ensure integrity of the program.
