Communities of Practice provide structured opportunities for professionals to come together, reflect on practice, exchange knowledge and engage more deeply on their work. Each community is collaborative, and brings together curated resources, case-based discussions and knowledge exchange opportunities, creating a space where knowledge is actively applied and shared.
These Communities of Practice are designed exclusively for professionals, staff, volunteers and partners who work within or alongside Child & Youth Advocacy Centres (CYACs). Communities of Practice offer opportunities to connect with colleagues across the CYAC network, share experiences, explore emerging practices and build collective expertise.
Please select the Community of Practice that best aligns with your role and interests to register.
