Description of intervention(s) / exposure
ENVISAGE-SP is a co-designed translation of the ENVISAGE-Families program. The ENVISAGE-Families workshops aim to provide families with information about the new and different ways we are thinking about childhood disability. Our overall aim is to empower parents to take a strengths-based approach to their child and family’s situation; help parents feel connected and supported; provide tools and resources to help them get what they need at the time they need it; and help parents feel confident when making decisions about their child and family.
ENVISAGE-SP is designed for service providers - those providing health, disability of social services to parents/caregivers raising children with a disability, for example, therapists, physicians, paediatricians, social workers.
ENVISAGE-SP online workshops address the following themes:

• WORKSHOP 1: New ways of thinking about HEALTH
• WORKSHOP 2: Child, Sibling and Family DEVELOPMENT
• WORKSHOP 3: PARENTING: a dance led by the children
• WORKSHOP 4: Attending to FAMILY WELLBEING
• WORKSHOP 5: COMMUNICATING, COLLABORATING, CONNECTING
Participants will be asked to work through the pre-workshop activities (1-hour per week), as well as engage in weekly one-hour online facilitated discussions (for 5 weeks total).
ENVISAGE-SP will be delivered through an online educational platform (Moodle -https://envisagenetwork.net). It will involve five online (synchronous) 60-minute facilitated discussions, weekly review of workshop materials including written and online resources (e.g., videos, podcasts, publications, etc.), and online individual reflection exercises that are provided on the learning platform with personal/professional reflections collated by participants in a private structured workbook. The total time commitment over the 12 months (including the quantitative evaluation component) is ~20 hours (+2 additional hours for participants who agree to be interviewed post-program, for a total=22hrs). The interviews will be conducted by an investigator not involved in delivery of the program, and conducted online using video-conference technology.
Each online workshop discussion will be facilitated by a country-specific parent and a clinician-researcher. Participants will have access to all the workshop materials and the online discussion board to share resources and post questions for up to one year following completion of the program.
Adherence to the program is monitored by (i) attendance records at online discussions; (ii) review of web analytics related to time using the online learning resources; and (iii) completion of data collection at each time point.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 336423 0

(iv) at 6-month; and
(v) at 12 months.
Secondary outcome [1] 428311 0
Perceptions, experiences, and self-efficacy to implement Family-Centred Services. This is a composite secondary outcome, measured using the Measure of Beliefs about Participation in Family-Centred Service (MBP-FCS): a 28-item self-report measure.

Secondary outcome [4] 428314 0
Experiences of ENVISAGE-SP and applicability to practice. This will be measured qualitatively in a semi-structured interview with a researcher not involved in the delivery of the ENVISAGE-SP program.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
This open, before-after, exploratory study will use descriptive analyses to summarize participant characteristics and their involvement with the study protocol, and will assess retention and drop-out rates over the follow-up period. Summary statistics (means, 95%CI, range) will be used to describe scores at each time point for each outcome measure’s subscales and total scores. Analysis of the change from baseline over the post-session and 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up measures will be accomplished using linear mixed effects models, a standard approach to longitudinal analysis of continuous outcomes, which is flexible in handling loss to follow-up and explicit modelling of individual variations in change estimated as random effects at various levels of nesting. The mixed effects framework accommodates the multilevel structure of repeated observations nested within SPs within workshop groups. These analyses are necessarily exploratory, as we do not know the timing or extent of what might be clinically relevant changes over 12 months; but estimates of the extent and direction of changes after intervention, baseline variance, and intra-class correlations due to subjects and workshop groups will be measured with sufficient precision to inform the sample size and analysis planning for any subsequent RCT.
Qualitative data from the interviews will be analyzed using an interpretative description approach. The research coordinators and post-doctoral fellows will lead this analysis. Other team members will review data and contribute to interpretation of the data.
