At our last SAC meeting, Barbara Kirby from the British Columbia Association of Community Response Networks gave a PowerPoint presentation about the role of community response networks.
Community response networks (CRNs) are groups of concerned community members who co-ordinate networks of government and community agencies, as well as local businesses, to help ensure that adults experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, abuse, neglect, and self-neglect do not “fall between the cracks.”
The CRNs help ensure that city- and province-wide agencies are aware of, and work together with, community-specific agencies to provide services that are responsive to the unique cultural and individual needs of different communities.
