Partnerships with the community

The success of public health interventions depends largely on the cooperation and involvement of partners. In order to make this happen, the decision makers and stakeholders from all sectors of society who hold the necessary means to act on determinants of health, are called upon to work together.

Community development service requests 

Community partners can apply for services for community development needs including:

  • Support to community organizations 
  • Analysis of community needs 
  • Resource development, for example to support the Programme de Soutien aux Organismes Communautaires (PSOC).
  • Strategic planning 
  • Consultation
  • Mobilization and awareness 
  • Project development on specific issues (ex.: food security, housing, seniors, health inequalities of racialized and immigrant people, etc.) 

Requests sent to the public health desk will be thoroughly analyzed and treated according to priority level and availability of resources.
