Haldimand-Norfolk Health and Social Services: Community Needs Assessment
The Haldimand-Norfolk Health and Social Services (HNHSS) division shared the findings of the 2022 Community Needs Assessment at the May 2nd Board of Health meeting.
Challenges identified by participants cover the gamut of life experiences, from mental health or addiction struggles to increasing challenges affording housing and food, to increasing feelings of stigmatization or isolation in the community. Difficulty accessing primary health care providers and dealing with barriers to service, such as transportation challenges, were also frequently cited responses.
