English-language training for health and social services workers in the James Bay region
Centre régional de santé et de services sociaux de la Baie-James
The Centre régional de santé et de services sociaux de la Baie-James, the Centre Jeunesse, community organizations, CMF La Grande Ourse, Services préhospitaliers d’urgence, RI-RTF
The training project’s objective is to improve English comprehension and expression skills among targeted health and social services staff members, depending on available resources. As part of the CRSSS de la Baie-James’ clinical and organizational project, the region will identify other partners who are likely to participate in the training.
The Nord-du-Québec region’s Anglophone population is relatively small, essentially concentrated in the Chibougamau area. The region's health centre (Centre de santé) is the only institution “indicated” in the regional policy for access to services in English. There is no “designated" institution in the region. All of the employees at Centre de santé Chibougamau are of Francophone origin. With the implementation of clinical programs, the Centre is struggling to complete its minimal service offering in English to the few Anglophone clients who come to the Centre.
The intake staff members are the gateway to the network and are considered a priority. The region intends to continue its efforts to improve the ability of its nursing staff to respond in English in the hemodialysis, emergency, nutrition, long-term care and obstetrics departments because these services are used, in part, by Aboriginal clientele. These staff members must also provide social and public health services at the Chibougamau English school, which serves more than 211 children and adolescents, from kindergarten to graduation from secondary school.
