The Community Health and Social Services Network in the South Shore Montreal (Monteregie) area is setting up a series of focus groups in the English speaking communities in the area.
According to the CHSSN, the reasons for the focus groups are:
"To assess the needs and experiences of English speaking citizens in relation to their accessing and receiving Health and Social Services. This information will help influence future requests for money, projects etc. which will work towards helping the English speaking community here on the South shore (Brossard, LeMoyne, GPK, St. Lambert, Saint-Hubert, Chambly, Boucherville, Longueuil, Saint-Bruno etc.)."
There will be four two-hour focus group evening sessions held in St. Lambert, March 21-24, on the following topics:
1) people under 50 years of age with children living at home
2) Caregivers of people of all ages
3) Caregivers of people with chronic illnesses/conditions (ex: diabetes, schizophrenia, intellectual disability, etc.)
4) People 14 years of age and older experiencing or knowing friends experiencing problems with addictions: Ex: gambling, drug, alcohol, video gaming, internet etc.
The rationale cited is that this is an opportunity for people to say what is good and bad with the present situation and to help do something about it.
The CHSSN was seeking 10 participants for each session.
