OCS Outcomes Report 2016-2017
• During Mental Health Week in May, we had a guest speaker from Qmunity come in and do a 1-hour interactive workshop for members and staff.
On June 21, we celebrated National Aboriginal Day with an Aboriginal guest speaker facilitating an engaging and inspiring presentation.
A positive relationship is being built with the Surrey Forensics Clinic, part of BCSMHSU.
In November, our clubhouse was notified by the Arts Council of Surrey that our application to host an art exhibit and sale at the Newton Cultural Center was approved by their Board.
During the entire month of May, 2017, six of our member artists will represent Surrey Clubhouse, as part of Options Community Services, to display their pieces for sale.
On October 21, The Roost Clubhouse site held an engaging and informational open house to celebrate 20 years of service as a Clubhouse and to showcase our recent renovations.
The Supported Work program saw an increase in work contracts for snow removal at many of OCS program sites, due to the amount of snowfall this winter. This provided the work crew with more opportunities to increase skills and earn income. The Fraser Health semi-annual contract review was attended by our Assistant Program Manager and one staff in December. All outcome targets have continued to meet or exceed the 80% expectations. Our Employment program targets are exceeding expectations with 82% outcomes. On February 1, we received the renewal of a $20,000 contract with the Surrey Business Improvement Association. Due to an increase in funding, the Clean Streets Program is now offered to our clients as a year-round service. As part of our Competitive Employment program, we saw 3 young adult clients complete a Youth Skills program at the Options’ Whalley WorkBC Employment Centre office, where all 3 clients also gained full-time jobs as a result.
