Envision Counselling and Support Centre is launching a Needs Assessment on Monday that will run until the end of February 2019. Envision encompasses the whole Southeast portion of the province.

“This assessment will provide the necessary data on whether or not the programs and services being delivered by Envision are meeting the needs of the communities in which we serve,” says Christa Daku, Executive Director of Envision Counselling and Support Centre.

“The needs assessment is also a great opportunity for Envision to compare the new data to previous assessments in order to see how our communities have grown and how Envision can support that growth.” The last assessment in the area was in 2007.

Envision Counselling began their Needs Assessment by holding focus groups within the communities it serves. They also have an online survey that is available here or can be found on Envision’s website. Envision is encouraging all Southeast residents to take part in the short online survey.

“The more people that we can get to take our survey, the better understanding we will have of the barriers they are facing with regard to service delivery,” says Daku.
