CSWBP Situation Table for Acutely Elevated Risk Successful in Community Foundation Grey Bruce Grant

The Community Safety and Well-Being Planning’s Situation Table for Acutely Elevated Risk (STAR) was successful in obtaining a grant from the Community Foundation Grey Bruce 2024 Spring Grants. The application requested funding for a knowledge and skill enhancement training day for STAR members. The training will include Intergenerational Trauma through an Indigenous Lens and Healing from Traditional Healer Lori Kewaquom of Saugeen First Nation well as 2S-LGBTQQIAP+ education from Grey Bruce Pride. The training day will be held in the fall and members are greatly looking forward to enhancing their knowledge to provide more inclusive support to individuals experiencing acutely elevated risk.

What is STAR?

The Situation Table for Acutely Elevated Risk is a collaborative meeting of 35 partners including police services, social services, and other community agencies who use their combined expertise and experience to work together to reduce the chance that someone or others will experience imminent and/or significant harm from a combination of risk factors. STAR supports individuals, families, groups, and/or places that experience situations that negatively affect health and safety.

What is the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (CSWBP) Grey-Bruce?  

Community Safety and Well Being Planning helps organizations improve the things that keep us healthy, happy, and safe. Together, we use research to create solutions focused on education, health care, food, housing, income, crime, and belonging. It is important that we create a welcoming community where problems are solved before they happen and where different professionals and community members come together to help people now and in the future. 

The ongoing work of CSWBP is supported by an advisory committee representing over 78 partners from across Bruce and Grey who are working together to address crime prevention by investing in social development, prevention, and risk interventions. This upstream preventative model focuses on creating protective factors that make individuals less vulnerable to crime and victimization.
