Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory's 24/7 Quick Response team assisting First Nations peoples and residents

10/21/2024

Indigenous Victim Services, in partnership with Hastings County and Aboriginal Labour Force Development, is hosting a culturally safe space for those experiencing homelessness in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory to participate in a "PiT Survey on Homelessness". The survey collects information on the experiences of people affected by homelessness to help community organizations and all orders of government better understand and serve individuals experiencing homelessness in Canada.
A Point-in-Time (PiT) Count is a strategy to help determine the extent of homelessness in a community on a given night, or at a single point in time. A PiT Count allows a community to better understand the nature and extent of homelessness and the characteristics of the homeless population. Such counts support better planning, and when done on more than one occasion, allow communities to assess their progress in reducing homelessness.
Please note that resources and applications for housing will be on site as well.

Youth Habilitation Quinte Inc is happy to announce the Be Safe App is finally ready for its launch in Hastings-Prince Edward!

The Be Safe App by mindyourmind is an evidence-informed safety planning and service navigation app developed in partnership with youth. The Be Safe App can:

§ Connect individuals with the right resources in a time of crisis

§ Develop a safety plan by completing a form on a mobile phone when an individual is stable and not in crisis, to support them when they are in crisis

§ Access helpful regional resources that support individuals in reaching out safely

§ Help individuals of any age who have experienced or are experiencing mental health and/or addiction issues.

The Be Safe app is currently accessed by individuals of all ages. Be Safe can assist health care providers with helping their patients/clients make a safety plan. It can also be used by individuals to support a friend, family member or peer. The app is user-friendly and hosts 11 mandatory regional listings and 53 local resources which are readily accessible.
