On Tuesday, April 4, CHEC Initiative held its Building Bridges Workshop in Stratford. In attendance were representatives of many community organizations as well as City of Stratford Staff and members of Council. The workshop explored the theme of collaborative problem solving for community wellbeing, with a specific focus on Situation Tables, which represent a roundtable form of mobilizing health and social services for at-risk individuals and families.

Third-year students enrolled in Dr. Kevin Harrigan's Stratford Campus Global Business and Digital Arts Global Business Project class made interactive games and web sites that depict the "Five Ways to Wellbeing" mental health framework. CHEC Initiative facilitated the connection between Dr. Harrigan's class and the Waterloo Region Mental Health Work Group, which is looking for creative ways to develop and disseminate information about the framework in community organizations in the region of Waterloo and beyond.
