Wheatland Crisis Society is currently developing 37 units of Second Stage Shelter/Housing to create a domestic violence continuum of care in Wheatland County. With this evolution, the organization has undertaken a review of our service delivery model in order to scale to support expansion, most notably, in adoption of a case management framework. WSC has reviewed case management models and determined that the Outcomes Star model is ideal for our needs.
WSC is seeking a Strategic Opportunity Grant to assist us in completing the staff training necessary to adopt and implement Outcomes Star. Training could be conducted in late November allowing us to formally implement use of the case management framework by December.
The Women’s Centre is a place for women to connect to a continuum of resources and supports, most importantly provide a social space for women to building community. The Centre wishes to design the right recruitment, training, onboarding, and support to take on more volunteers with lived experience. Most who have been through hard times empathize with and have the urge to reach out to others who struggle with similar problems. People with lived experience deeply understand the realities of poverty. Their stories and experiences serve as powerful tools. The desire for peer support relationships is a natural human response to shared struggles. It does not focus on diagnoses or deficits but is rooted in compassion for oneself and others.
