Description:
This project aims to enhance the impact of the Supportive Outreach Services (SOS) program, which focuses on individuals with mental health and addiction issues, offering a range of life-saving interventions such as overdose reversal, mental health support, addiction support services, distribution of naloxone and other harm reduction items. It will expand the coverage area in Grey County, increasing staffing to operate seven days a week instead of four, introducing peer support services, and integrating an Indigenous navigator role to extend its reach to support the diverse needs of the community. This expansion will allow SOS to provide more comprehensive and culturally appropriate care to vulnerable populations, including those affected by mental health issues, addiction, homelessness, and disconnection from essential services.
