Title
The NDG Community Health Forum : Improving Community Knowledge about Access to Local Health and Social Services: Final report
Abstract
The NDG Community Health Forum was held on Saturday, October 21, 2017 at the Crowley Arts Centre in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. Its objective was to provide NDG residents, in particular those living in vulnerable situations, an opportunity to obtain information about health and social services in their community and how to access these services. The Forum enabled participants to meet with a variety of health and community service providers, discuss access issues in the context of recent reforms in Québec, and participate in themed workshops on more focused health challenges. Close to thirty local health agencies from the public, private and non-profit sectors had kiosks at the Forum, with resource people to introduce the services they provide and pamphlets participants could take home with them. The Forum was designed to empower community members with knowledge about available services, and provide public and community sector organizations with an opportunity to learn more about community needs in order to improve their services.
