From friendly check-in calls, home and outreach visits, delivery of food and other supplies to starting virtual programs and advocating for #digitalequity, the work we do during #COVID19 and recovery is demonstrating there's #PowerInCommunity. In honour of Community Health & Wellbeing Week, we will be highlighting some of our CHCN Community Connectors who continue to go above and beyond to support those in our community and ensure that they receive appropriate services. #CHWW...2020 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meet Pam C, one of our Social Workers & Pam M, our Community Health Promoter. Together, they offer a Caregiver Support Group on the first and third Friday of every month to provide information, support and follow-up for those navigating new circumstances in their role as caregivers. Previously, the group met in person once per month, but circumstances surrounding the pandemic resulted in Pam and Pam developing new ways to support caregivers given the unique circumstances. They have reformatted their group to a virtual platform to ensure that participants still have the ability to connect with one another, share their experiences and resources, to learn and support, and to grow together. The group now meets twice per month and all caregivers are welcome. Now more than ever, it is important to support caregivers who are experiencing additional challenges including added stress and uncertainty; limited access to care and disrupted service delivery, in addition to countless stressors faced prior to the pandemic. Thank you to our Pams for continuing to offer exceptional support to members of our community!

We are stronger when we work together. During Community Health & Wellbeing Week, we're celebrating the work we do with partners in the community to serve marginalized people, especially when presented with the challenges of the pandemic. Thank you to all of our partners for your continued support and partnership with the CHCN and for your sincere dedication to supporting individuals in our communities.
