A PROJECT OF FAMILY SERVICE CANADA AND CLARICA
Family Service Canada and Clarica Life Insurance supported twelve wide-ranging early intervention projects across Canada from 2001 to 2003. Each project responded to a community need identified by the agencies. Ten of the projects are on-going.
The agencies benefitted from the projects in many ways.
They developed innovative techniques for recruiting people who are at-risk.
They created strength-based admission procedures that provided them
with more complete information about their clients. They experienced
the advantage of intervening early in a client’s situation. Their
strength-based workshops increased client participation. In addition,
their new partnerships raised the agencies’ profile and increased
their knowledge of community resources.
