The Knowledge Mobilization Toolkit: Doing more with what you know
When we say knowledge mobilization, what do we really mean? Knowledge and evidence can often get lost in a sea of jargon. Is it knowledge exchange, knowledge translation, integrated knowledge translation, knowledge mobilization? The terms can often slow us down and get in our way.
The Ontario Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health is excited to announce the launch of our latest online toolkit, The Knowledge Mobilization Toolkit: Doing more with what you know. Designed for child and youth mental health agencies in Ontario, this toolkit is a practical guide to sharing knowledge in your community and beyond. It combines the best available evidence with real-world examples to help you share what you know and put that knowledge into action. And most importantly, it de-mystifies all those complicated terms and helps support you in doing what matters most: making evidence accessible, understandable and useful for knowledge users.
Why bother? When we’re slow to use knowledge, it loses its power. But communicating what you have learned with those who can act upon it is powerful. This toolkit makes KMb as easy as 1, 2, 3. Try out the KMb planning form and see for yourself. The hands-on, step-by-step form will help you get started and guide you through the process. The toolkit is designed to help you share what you know works and get it into the hands of those who can make it happen.
How do YOU do KMb? Check out the toolkit and get in touch with us!
