Clinical Service Hub

This program provides clinical services within the Kenora Emergency Shelter. Services are both internal to CMHA Kenora and external partnerships, established through formalized memorandums of understanding. Services focus on individualized needs of patrons to support the housing program by reducing the need for Overnight Stay at the Shelter. The Clinical Service Hub advocates for patrons of the shelter in the community by reflecting the need of housing through referrals and evidence based assessments.

Clinical Service Hub Roles:

• The Clinical Service Hub Team Lead provides oversight to the Clinical Service Hub. The Service Hub hosts individual and group programs from external agencies within the shelter to provide an environment for patrons to socialize and learn life skills.
• The Service Hub Navigator provides assertive engagement to patrons that require services.
• The Diversion Worker assists with housing options for patrons who use the shelter for 14 days or more.

Both roles provide case management services, assessment of risks, and individualized treatment plans.
