On Tuesday March 15, numerous staff members travelled to Ditidaht for a Service Provider Information session that was organized by Ruby Ambrose and Joanne John, Ditidaht, Health Services Manager.
Staff included, Robert Cluett, Delavina Lawrence (NIHB), Jeannette Watts (Nurse Manager), Kim Erickson (Quu?usa Youth Counsellor), Lynnette Lucas (Education Manager), Richard Watts and Gary Dawson-Quatell (Resolution Health Workers), Matilda Atleo (Health Promotion and Social Development—Sr. Community Health Development Worker), Donna Lucas (Child & Youth Mental health), Lani McClellan (Supported Child Development), Deb Neuwirth (Mother’s Support Outreach Program), Dave Zryd (Clinical Counsellor), Lisa Watts (Quu?asa Cultural Counsellor).
All staff provided an overview of their department and what services are available to community. We felt that the time was well spent as the Chief Counsellor and another Council member, plus an Elder were also attending this session.
Feedback obtained from NTC staff is that they have a better insight into what other staff roles and responsibilities are.
