What is the SNAP Community of Practice?
SNAP Community of Practice (SNAP CoP) is a project managed by CDI’s SNAP Headquarters (SNAP HQ). As the country’s expert in implementation science, SNAP HQ works to bring SNAP to local organizations across Canada and beyond. SNAP HQ is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of experts who lead a centralized hub for SNAP research, development, implementation, and training activities for licensed community organizations called SNAP Affiliate Sites. SNAP HQ is currently building stronger, healthier communities in over 130 Affiliate Sites across Canada, and internationally.
The SNAP Community of Practice platform is designed to support communication and knowledge exchange between the members of the SNAP community. This platform enables users to connect with other members, join groups, find resources, participate in webinars, and more!
What is SNAP?
Stop Now And Plan (SNAP®) is an evidence-based, children’s mental health and crime prevention model developed by Child Development Institute (CDI), an accredited children’s mental health agency in Toronto, Canada. The model teaches children and families how to stop and think before they act ‘in the moment’ and throughout their lives. The primary goal of SNAP is to increase emotion regulation, self-control and problem-solving skills to help keep children in school and out of trouble.
