OCS Outcomes Report 2016-2017
Quality Improvements • We have presented on several occasions to school programs at Kwantlen and Trinity Western University. • We secured funding for a new Snoozelen room for the new Langley office. • We have secured our new space for our Langley office and hoping to move in the summer of 2017. • We ran two parent support groups for parents who were isolated and needing support from one another. • The kitchen area was renovated and now has an accessible area for those clients who are in wheelchairs or walkers. • Secured 5 spots for our clients to take part in Dreams Take Flight – a trip to Disneyland for the day. • We were once again a part of the UBC Reading week program. Students helped us create a video series which included online safety and recognizing personal boundaries which are currently being used as part of our Healthy Sexuality and Boundaries Group called “Teen Talk.” • We expanded our Sign-up waitlist program for clients waiting to get into the Adventurers group. Once families have come to an intake, they can sign their child up for two activities per month until their child gets into a regular group program. This helps to ease some of the long waiting time families have before getting service. • We have built partnerships with Royal Bank of Canada, Kwantlen College, UBC, Langley Parks and Recreation, Timms Community Center and the Center for Child Development. • We partnered with Langley Association for Community Living to deliver two Healthy Sexuality courses. • We have applied to CLBC to be put on a list of service providers in the Langley and Surrey areas for adults in the community that require life skills workers. • Over the summer we operated the Super Summer Program where existing clients of the program signed up for fun activities throughout the summer with the support of both regular staff and summer students. The Super Summer program was possible through grant funding. • We also ran a Healthy Sexuality group for high functioning boys and girls from October – January.
