Community Resource Centre
Mission Statement
Network 4 Change supports families and community members by providing programs, resources, and services that foster stability, hope, strength, and wellness. Through an inclusive, people-centered approach, we connect individuals and families to advocacy, resources, and community supports.
Who We Are
Network 4 Change began in February 2005 as a collaborative community ad hoc steering committee with the purpose being to oversee the program development and implementation of the youth program Road 2 Success. Incorporated as a non-profit organization in July 2005 and registered as a charity in 2007, Network 4 Change has now broadened their scope of community initiatives with the intent to enhance the community social economy. Operating as a community resource centre for the Beausejour-Brokenhead area, a variety of social programs and services exist for people of all ages.
Vision
A connected and inclusive community where every person feels appreciated, included and empowered to live happy, confident and fulfilled lives.
Social Determinants Of Health
Many factors have an influence on health. In addition to our individual genetics and lifestyle choices, where we are born, grow, live, work, and age also have an important influence on our health. According to the Government of Canada, the Determinants of health are the broad range of personal, social, economic and environmental factors that determine individual and population health.
Network 4 Change programs are designed to support individuals based on the determinants of health and related impacts that are unique to them.
The main determinants of health include:
- Income and social status
- Employment and working conditions
- Education and Literacy
- Childhood experiences
- Physical environments
- Social supports and coping skills
- Healthy behaviors
- Access to health services
- Biology and genetic endowment
- Gender
- Culture
- Race / Racism
