Improving access to health & social services for the English-speaking population

The NPI project is what inspired our Community Mobilization Model, which uses a population health promotion approach. This approach encourages local and regional partners, as well as English-speaking communities, to strengthen relationships with health and social service providers and address key health determinants. We also support the NPI’s capacity building efforts by offering leadership development.

The NPI is designed around five core activities:

Networking

Building a network table and creating opportunities to share information, identify issues, challenges and solutions such as service improvements.

Representation

Participating on advisory and decision-making tables and representing the needs and challenges of the English-speaking community.

Knowledge development

Developing and disseminating evidence-based research such as statistics and priorities, and sharing best practices.

Partnerships

Creating projects in collaboration with health and social service partners, such as a demonstration or pilot project.

Outreach

Reaching vulnerable and isolated English-speakers, and supporting them in accessing health and social services in English.
