Wellness Initiative

Picture

Wellness & Mental Health were identified during our 2020 & 2018 Needs Assessment Surveys as areas of concern within our community. We are working towards developing programming that addresses these concerns. ​
Here are some key updates on the Wellness Initiative so far... 

• G.A.P. establishes a Mental Health Committee. G.A.P. has maintained a working Mental Health Sub Committee since 2019. This committee was spear-headed and developed to contribute toward a community desire of mental wellness through all determents of health.
• Through 2019, the working group focused in on listening to arising needs from community members asking for a multidisciplinary service center to be established in Gravenhrust.
• Through 2020, continued work was completed to further understand the needs of young adults within the community in correlation to the original service center project.
• Currently, G.A.P. has a goal of creating a community hub with a dedicated Young Adult Centre (YAC).

Within the Mental Health Sub Committee, in 2020, an additional service project formed. This project was in association with Canadian Mental Health Association Muskoka- Parry Sound Branch. The project quickly took on the title, Building Community Compassion Speaker Series. Within this project, G.A.P. has hosted several speakers over multiple topics, such as: Poverty, Addiction and Mental Health Stigma. G.A.P. will be welcoming future speakers in 2022 speaking to a wide range of topics.
