Community Mobilization Networking and Partnership Initiative (NPI) The NPI is a project that supports the development and mobilization of health and social service networks for English-speaking communities throughout the province of Quebec. 2023 - 2028 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. What is an NPI? NPI Map Services for Health Aging in the Right Place (SHARP) Services for Health Aging in the Right Place (SHARP) is an outreach activity that supports NPI’s to host information sessions to their communities to promote and improve access to existing services that are available to help older adults to age in place, or age in their community for as long as they desire. There are 8 virtual information sessions held each year, on the third Wednesday of the month highlighting services that help older adults age in place such as: home care and adaption, volunteering opportunities and other ways of staying connected, transportation, nutrition and physical activity support, fall prevention, caregiver support, etc. NPI’s can participate and enhance access to English-language information through partnerships and education in three ways: Hold live events to attend the webinar together as a group; Share the event information with their community and seniors participate live from home Use recordings and materials in future programming.
