Question: Hello!
I am Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist, co-owner of a practice (thechrysaliscenter.com) with a community branch. We are gathering data on two community-oriented interventions, namely an art therapy intervention with refugees and a program funding 15 psychotherapy sessions for 15 students in several underserved schools. We'd like to start publishing/disseminating our data. I'm wondering if there are research mentors or other opportunities through SCRA to help us get started? Thank you!

Answer:
Great work on your projects!
About Data Dissemination, you can find helpful suggestions on Community Tool Box website Chapter 1. Section 5. “Our Evaluation Model: Evaluating Comprehensive Community Initiatives”, and particularly Paragraph 5. Promoting Dissemination.
To find research mentors, we are sorry, but CTB cannot retrieve such opportunities for you. Perhaps, you can ask directly some colleagues members of SCRA, or – more easily – look for them between PhD students in a university close to your practice.
Thank you for your interest in CTB!
Best greetings
