Partnering in Service of First Nations Child Well-being
Thursday, October 16, 2025
1 – 2 p.m.
Online (Teams)
Partnerships between faculty and communities can lead to insights and impact beyond what is achievable from within the academy. Yet many scholars whose research and outcomes could be transformed through community partnership hesitate to explore this path, uncertain where to begin and how to proceed and succeed.
The Centre for Research and Innovation Support (CRIS) and the CCP invite you to join us for an open and engaging discussion on walking the partnership path in pursuit and service of First Nations child and family well-being. Learn from experienced partners Amber Crowe (Executive Director, Dnaagdawenmag Binnoojiiyag Child & Family Services) and Barbara Fallon (Professor, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work and VPRI) who will share their experiences, challenges and successes in working collectively from the academy, child welfare agencies, and First Nations organizations to deepen understanding of the over-representation of First Nations children in the Ontario child welfare system.
This session will begin with a deep dive into the context and development of this partnership, then move into an integrative open discussion of participants’ questions. Questions can be submitted ahead of time and during the session.

Featuring conversations between University of Toronto CEL scholar/practitioners and invited scholar/practitioners from outside U of T, this virtual series aims to advance community-engaged learning practice and scholarship through critical reflection and discussion of societal challenges, theoretical questions, and practical pedagogical strategies.
