Lunch & Learn Series 2011

I attended the Lunch & Learn last Wednesday at Regional Mental Health Care - London: "From Streets to Home" presented by Mission Services.  The most alarming news for my ears was the outrageous caseworker to client ratios.  For example, there are 7 Full Time Streetscape outreach service caseworkers, each giving service to 85 people.  WOW!

So here's what's coming up:
