About Lanark County Mental Health:

This initiative employs a full-time Housing Based Case Manager specializing in substance use and mental health issues for those who are homeless or precariously housed, a part-time coordinator to consistently support ongoing efforts in promoting diversity and inclusion through social media and outreach, as well as continuation and enhancement of the existing Victim Advocate program to provide system navigation and support for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and human trafficking and additional court support capabilities.

To support the need for increased suicide awareness and prevention, this project seeks to train individuals in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), as well as a commitment to continue efforts to provide widespread



trauma-informed care training for police and human service agencies. As highlighted in the CSWB Plan, this project would support the work of Planet Youth Lanark County to collect data leading to initiatives to help combat and prevent substance use in children and youth.
