Organization: Enrich – Outaouais Health and Social Services Network
Project description 2011-2012:
The Outaouais Health Promotion Project
ENRICH, and the Outaouais Health and Social Services Network
(OHSSN), involve citizens, public institutions, service
organizations, and community resources in the planning and
delivery of quality and accessible health and social services to
the English-speaking population. This year, the focus is on four
major areas of need:
- support a network involved with public health action
plans at local and regional levels, in line with the Quebec
Public Health plan,
- deliver health promotion initiatives aimed to serve
English speaking groups impacted by Alzheimer’s and conjugal
violence,
- foster a volunteer program that supports the centre’s
operations and health promotion activities, and
- lead a communications center which drives coordination,
integration and dissemination of information on health
promotion.
This year, ENRICH proposes to take pilot year outcomes to the
next level to expand the PIED program to 2 new groups in 2 years
with CSSS Gatineau. An increase in the number of Seniors
workshops and members of the volunteer bank are also projected.
Finally, new developments in health promotion efforts from the
communications centre will continue to address the demand for
much needed information and its proper distribution to target
groups.
