| Title |
Promoting Access to Social Services for Black English-Speaking Families at Risk
|
| Abstract |
The author describes the on-going campaign by a prevention network within Montreal's Black English-speaking community to increase access to needed prevention resources to reduce the over-representation of Black youth in the Provincial Youth Protection system. The campaign hopes to increase prevention resources in the target neighbourhoods with significant numbers of Black families at risk. The campaign focuses on increasing local capacity to develop best practice prevention approaches, improving partnerships with the public network of social services, and identifying a clinical model of partnership with the CSSS in order to better integrate community-based prevention developments within the Provincial Youth Protection reform. The McGill School of Social Work, Batshaw, and the CSSS Cavendish are cited as important allies in this knowledge development and model building. Finally, the author provides a case example of how the CHSSN (Community Health and Social Service Network) supports an English language minority community in Montreal to ensure access to appropriate social services and how opportunities exist within the English-speaking community to promote these policy changes.
