Examples of: plans/logic models/literature on: Computer/WWW access & learning (how to use) – projects for people living with a severe mental illness (SMI)?
Does anyone have “good” example (s) of everything from learning/training to access to -computers and the www?
Clearly there are differing approaches that could be taken such as:
-point of view of neighborhood/community based support for “disadvantaged populations”
-directly focused on people living with SMI,
-computer “literacy”
The aim here is to gather resources that begin to contribute to a broad community based yet localized (to a city) strategic approach to support people living with a severe mental illness who have little or no access to what is a key “Social Determent of Health.” – web/computer access to information.

Thank you for your great comments, questions, and insights, Dawn. A Labour Force strategy for the sector has been on our radar for years – and we’re pleased to be moving into the next phase of work through the Decent work project we’re undertaking with Mowat NFP & Toronto Neighbourhood Centres, supported by the Atkinson Foundation. We’ll be releasing new work from this project in the upcoming weeks that will address some of these questions, and with hope, set the stage for a sector-wide discussion about what Decent work means for our sector. At the same time, we think there is also great potential for financial structures that strengthen the sector and help us work toward sustainability and longevity. The discussion is ongoing, thanks for weighing in!

Enhancing capacity of our members, clients, participants putting many of us out of work might be our primary consideration. This might include yes Social Enterprise, Community Economic Development, Advocacy and Outreach for Housing, Wages, and Equity and yet 30 years in the sector what is our strategy to facilitate “our members” actualizing their potential? How are we meeting people where they are? How are we facilitating empowerment? How are we making ourselves non essential?
