New Direction for PSAN-SC December, 2011
Recent updates: PSAN-SC has a large membership working to prevent elder abuse in Simcoe County. We also partner with the Muskoka Network to Prevent Elder Abuse. WE have been fortunate recently to have our chair Inga Thompson also serve as our regional ONPEA rep. ONPEA http://www.onpea.org/ is the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse. We have applied for numerous grants for a coordinator to move us beyond awareness and education and into a coordinated system of response. We have just been awarded a Trillium grant that will allow us to hire a service coordinator, who over the next two years will be responsible for system development and capacity building related to issues of elder abuse. Watch for the announcement in January, 2012.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
We are currently reviewing our strategic plan. Our membership is growing and we have achieved much in the past few years but still have much to do. One goal is to find a volunteer who will keep this website up to date. |

PSAN-SC web site. The Committee would like to graciously acknowledge that the funding provided for the development of this website was made possible by the United Way of Simcoe County.
We are a voluntary network with representatives from agencies, community seniors, and services across Simcoe County and rely on grants and members for contributions of time and materials. United Way funding has also made it possible for us to print copies of an information brochure on elder abuse services in Simcoe County. This brochure can be found on the Resource Materials page of this website. |
