Anja Cahill RN BNSc BScH
As the Ontario Parent-Child Relationship Program Nursing Practice Lead I provide professional nursing practice support to NCAST Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) Instructors across Ontario’s 34 public health units through collaboration with partners from the Public Health Nursing Practice, Research & Education Program (PHN-PREP) (School of Nursing, McMaster University), the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS), and the Parent-Child Relationship Program at the Barnard Centre (PCRP). As a public health nurse in the Healthy Babies Healthy Children program, I have used the scales in my practice for over a decade. I hold extensive knowledge about the PCRP assessment and intervention tools, experience in training and facilitation, and a passion for promoting public health nursing practice and supporting families and children to thrive.

I work with the Ontario Public Heath Units currently providing the NFP home visiting program to facilitate the nurse and supervisor education, provide implementation guidance and ensure the goal of program fidelity.

As a public health nursing practice leader, I have provided leadership to the development, implementation and evaluation of the Nurse-Family Partnership® home visitation program, working in partnership with clinical and managerial leads from Ontario’s provincial Healthy Babies, Healthy Children Program since 2016. As a knowledge user, I have been involved with the Nurse-Family Partnership® International team as a contributing member of the Clinical Advisory Group and related working groups. I have also been actively engaged as a collaborator in multiple research projects to evaluate nurse home visiting programs, most notably the CaNE project to develop, implement and evaluate a Canadian model of nurse home visitor education and a case study to evaluate models of shared supervision within a home visitation program.
