The St. Thomas Police Service, in collaboration with St. Thomas – Elgin Social Services, The INN and a number of other community partners, have launched a new awareness video designed to provide crucial information on resources available to individuals experiencing social and health related challenges in our community.
The video emphasizes the importance of a compassionate and coordinated approach to tackling the social determinants of health, while also introducing viewers to the friendly faces of those on the front lines.
The video underscores the positive impact of community engagement, showcasing real interactions between frontline workers and the individuals they assist.
“The St. Thomas Police Service recognizes that these increasing issues can only be resolved once ownership and responsibility is accepted through a multi-sectoral mindset. A coordinated and collaborative effort comprised of community leaders and elected officials is required. These issues are clearly defined and included within the St. Thomas-Elgin Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan as priorities for cross-sector response. This video is a testament to the dedicated and innovative partnerships that have been implemented to support those in need. By working together, we can make a significant impact. We thank our partners and the community for their unwavering support.” Chief Marc Roskamp
