Happy Anniversary! The Huron County CCC has been meeting for one year now.
As our Discovery planning is become more finalized and ‘real’, we feel we are making progress and are finally working towards something tangible. As the members say, we can “see a light at the end of the tunnel”.
As I wrote about in my last post, we spent time in our last meeting critically reflecting on where we are and what we are doing. The group felt unsure of their role and our purpose. As a result, we thought it was important to take time in this meeting to regroup and refocus our efforts.
Zara, our current Knowledge Translation Specialist, was recently hired and attended our meeting this month. Welcome, Zara!
We began revising our Discovery questions to make them more accessible and relevant to our group. We recognised that the ‘circle of care’ for community clients may be broader, including friends, neighbours, relatives and so forth, and that relationships are very important at all levels – in the community, in long-term care homes, and in families.
As the membership of our group continued to grow and I struggled to understand how all of these community organisations and groups relate with one another.
