If you are an adult with complex medical needs and have a disability, we want YOU to apply.
The Integrated Adult Services (IAS) pilot program will provide holistic services and care to 30 adults living in the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA), which includes the City of Winnipeg, the northern community of Churchill, and the Rural Municipalities of East and West St. Paul.
The project is looking to recruit up to 30 people living with disabilities in the WRHA in order to determine the types of challenges adults with disabilities often experience when accessing services and how those barriers may be overcome.
The IAS pilot project is the result of a settlement with Tyson Sylvester and Amelia Hampton, who in 2016 filed human rights complaints alleging that gaps in the provision of services and supports to adult Manitobans with disabilities, particularly those with complex disability-related needs, create systemic barriers to equality.
Why we want YOU to apply.
We’re trying to understand the needs of adults in
the WRHA with complex disability-related needs.
The IAS pilot program will identify and overcome
systemic barriers that Manitobans face.
Participants will take part in:
- a needs assessment,
- a service planning process, and
- a program evaluation of project outcomes.
The evaluation will be conducted at the conclusion of the pilot by an independent evaluator to assess the experiences of participants, including whether the supports received met their needs and how they could be improved. When complete, the evaluation report will be made available to the public.
