chilliwack healthier communityChilliwack Healthier Community is inviting the community to its annual forum next Tuesday May 26th from 8 AM to 12 PM at the Neighborhood Learning Centre on Yale road.

Coordinator Sabine Mendez says in the first part of the forum people will hear about task forces formed after last year’s forum.

“One to do with Housing First and the homelessness issue. Another to do with improving mental health awareness and reducing stigma and looking at family centred health care. And then our third task team is called Pathways, and we’re looking at accessibility to resources.”

Mendez says people will also hear from experts in mental health, affordable housing, public safety, and healthy lifestyles on topics like service delivery.

“Basically things like promotion and prevention versus crisis response. And in particular where the funding priorities tend to go and maybe where we would like to see them to go.”
