When we think of social services, we often think about identifying and fixing problems.

We look at “what’s wrong,” and we raise awareness about the issues and barriers facing individuals and families in our community. But starting with a problem can keep us from identifying the capabilities and strengths that are in each person, each family and every

community – and that can limit opportunities for positive change and growth. A strength-based approach starts by asking “What’s right?” It focuses on the belief that

every person has a unique set of strengths and capabilities -- that families and communities have the potential for growth and success. A strength-based approach

recognizes that the power to change is within us – within us individually, within our community -- no matter what issues and barriers we face.

At SIRCH we try to always take a strength-based approach. We look for solutions. We focus on positives. For many of our program participants, it may be the first time anyone has expressed a belief in their personal worth. Or in their ability to not just

survive but thrive. It may be the first time someone recognizes their wisdom and expertise, born out of difficulty. This fundamental philosophical perspective, that everyone has value and strengths, guides all SIRCH activities. And so we work for

change, undertaking to reduce barriers, unearth gifts and enable growth. Concentrating on a vision of “what’s right,” and “what’s possible,” the staff and volunteers nurture those in our programs – looking for their innate potential. Instead of dwelling on

problems and seeing hopelessness, our strength-based approach focuses on opportunity, empowerment, capacity-building and hope. And that extends to volunteers, partners, and others.

Likewise we look at our community and see the potential and our unique strengths and

capabilities. It is this that will determine our community’s evolving story and define who we are - not our limitations. By solving challenges, we all create capacity. By valuing differences we can succeed in the essential need to collaborate – effective change is a

collaborative, inclusive and participatory process. We are blessed to have a community that values collaboration and that gives back.

We are overwhelmed at the generosity of this community. Our partnerships – with oth-er agencies, businesses, government, service clubs, and others – have been amazing. In the last fiscal year, in-kind donations (food, space, staffing, services and more) amounted

to over $235,000! We value our volunteers – ah, our volunteers! In the past fiscal year, SIRCH volunteers donated 7,936 hours and they drove 48,727 kilometres! And you have only to look at the back few pages of this report to know how much we appreciate

our donors. Clearly we have a community that also looks for solutions, and recognizes that each of us has the power to

change and succeed.

Programs and Services very proud to show off their books and see the other participants’ books.

It was a life changing and life honouring process for many of volunteers and

individuals.

“It is one thing to have the pictures it is another to have the stories with the pictures.

Without this project my stories would never have been written down. I realize how

much I have accomplished in my life when I see it all together like this. I had no idea

I had accomplished so much.” Participant

Employment Security

In 2009, SIRCH Community Services launched a Pilot Project entitled Sew

Resourceful in hopes of bridging both tourism and the textile arts industry.

With financial support from the Haliburton County Development

Corporation, combined with extensive donated in-kind support, the project

was able to interweave the issues of low income and employability with

tourism and rural risk factors to:

Create a durable support network for women

Increase employability of at risk women

Decrease the poverty rate among women in Haliburton County

Increase skill development within the Arts sector

Increase financial security of participants

As an expansion of the Pilot Project in September of 2010, and with limited

funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Sew Resourceful began Level

1 of the Building Capacity project – a three level, 40 week graduation course.

The aim of Sew Resourceful – Building Capacity is to develop sustainable

technical, life and business skills needed to increase the opportunity for

employment and quality of life for every participant. An integral part of the

curriculum focuses on the development of a social network, with the sole

purpose being that the participants have the ability to create an artistic

collective amongst themselves that can be carried forward after the project

has ended and their employment/self-employment has begun. As of March

2011, 100% of participants state that they feel an increased level of confidence

with regards to their employability skills

Funded entirely on donations

Programs and Services

Pre & Post Natal

The Canada Prenatal Nutrition

Program (CPNP) is funded through

Public Health Agency of Canada.

SIRCH sponsors CPNP in the

Tri County Region of Haliburton

County, City of Kawartha Lakes and

Northumberland County. To do so,

we partner with the Ontario Early

Years Centre of Haliburton,

Victoria, Brock, and with the Northumberland Child Development Centre.

In the past year CPNP groups provided pre and postnatal support to 150

expectant and breastfeeding women in the tri-county area. The CPNP

groups provided education, nutritional support, food supplements, as

well as a physical component designed to assist our pre and postnatal

families with the options to ensure a healthy delivery and birth outcome. In

Haliburton the group was delivered in partnership with the Haliburton

Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit with participation from Haliburton

Midwifery Services, the Family Health Team, YWCA and 4 C’s Food Bank.

Families with Young Children

The Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) is funded through

Public Health Agency of Canada. As with CPNP, SIRCH sponsors CAPC in

the Tri County Region of Haliburton County, City of Kawartha Lakes and

Northumberland County. To do so, we partner with the Ontario Early Years

Centre of Haliburton, Victoria, Brock, and with the Northumberland Child

Development Centre.

In the past year in the tri-county area, CAPC groups have provided family

supports, education and resources to 824 parents and caregivers of children

age 6 and under. All groups had a nutritional and physical activity component

Programs and Services

for both the adults and children in order to increase each family’s awareness

about the benefits of making healthy lifestyle choices.

In Haliburton County the CAPC group was delivered in partnership with Point

in Time, YWCA, Dysart Township, as well as a multitude of service providers

coming on-site to share their expertise. Haliburton also offered the School’s

Cool program to children entering kindergarten to increase their school

readiness skills.

“SIRCH has been a model for other agencies who sponsor CAPC and CPNP in the Ontario

Region, and nationally, by providing guidance and support through involvement in coalitions and sharing best practices. We at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) are proud and fortunate to be a partner to SIRCH and the staff, and wish them continued success in all their

initiatives “ Suzanne Beaulieu,

Program Consultant, Healthy Child Development Section,

Public Health Agency of Canada

School Readiness

In Haliburton County children ages 3 to 5 years of age, take part in 2 or more

School’s Cool programs during July and August. Although the location varies,

the programs are held in one or more kindergarten classrooms of the Trillium

Lakelands District School Board. The fun play-based activities prepare children

for the challenges and opportunities of kindergarten. Children typically

increase their language, math, self-help, psychological and social skills by up to

one year in development over the six weeks of the program.

Three trained instructors provide a low teacher-to-student ratio so all children

receive quality time. Because instructors focus on each child’s strengths, it is a

positive, often life-changing, experience for children. Children start school in

the fall enthusiastic and ready for success.

Funded through the Community Action Program for Children (CAPC), Public Health

Agency of Canada, and through fundraising.

Programs and Services (continued)

Support Group, education, one-to-one volunteer bereavement support,

referral and a lending library. The Hospice program is funded by the

Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), the Ministry of Health,

and through significant fundraising ef-

forts by SIRCH.

Over the past year, 89 clients and 200

family members/caregivers were

supported by Community Hospice.

Clients ranged in age from 33 to 90 -74% were women and 26% were men.

Cancer continues to be the primary

illness experienced by clients (69%).

Thirty-seven trained Hospice Volunteers delivered emotional and practical

support to individuals and caregivers, usually in the clients’ homes. In addition,

they provided support in Haliburton Hospital’s Acute Care and in Highland

Wood Long Term Care Facility as needed.

Exceptional Circumstances Volunteer Program

In May of 2010, the Board approved this new program to be run through the

Hospice Program. It allows for some support of families or individuals who

would not qualify for Hospice but have similar needs. Over the past year, 5

clients were provided with support. Clients ranged in age from 45 to 92 of

which 60% were women and 40% were men. The volunteers provided

friendly visiting, bereavement support, and respite for the caregiver.

Memories to Life

Memories to Life was a one year program funded by a grant from New

Horizons. Trained volunteers assisted individuals with dementia to produce a

memory book and /or DVD of photos and memorabilia. The program was

designed to help the person with dementia retain their memories as along as

possible and to help them feel a sense of self worth and belonging. The book/

DVD is also a memento for the family and future generations.

Eleven participants were involved. A Celebration for the participants and

their volunteers was held at the Haliburton Library. The participants were

Programs and Services (continued)

Food Security

In Haliburton County SIRCH’s

Community Kitchen has been providing

free, healthy meals to low income

families, seniors and others in the

community who need healthy food. In the

Fall of 2010 the Kitchen moved to an

entirely volunteer model and now

boasts over 23 part time

volunteers. A highly successful fundraising

initiative in the Fall of 2010 garnered over $3,000 in donations to assist with

purchasing and distributing meals and in May of 2011 a long term commitment

from the Haliburton Rotary of $3,000 annually helps to keep the kitchen up

and running.

To date over 5,200 meals have been prepared and delivered with the

Christmas goodie baskets being a favorite for recipients. An estimated 800

volunteer hours and over 200 volunteer kilometers have been donated.

Dental Health

This is an amazing story in a small rural community. Dentist Bill Kerr, his wife

Lisa, and dental hygienist Lisa Stoughton had a vision of a dental clinic where

low income families who couldn’t afford dental care could get urgent care at

no cost. SIRCH was approached to help bring this vision to reality and the

program is now under the SIRCH umbrella of services.

After securing a site in Haliburton Village, donations of materials, equipment,

labour and supplies flooded in. Dentists, dental assistants and hygienists, some

with businesses in Haliburton County and some from outside the county, have

volunteered their time to the Dental Outreach. Dental care will be provided at

least two days a week, year-round.

Community Hospice

The Community Hospice Program provides support to Haliburton County

residents living with, dying of, or bereaved by, a serious and/or palliative

illness. Services include in-home volunteer support, the Living With Cancer
