For some people, going to a doctor’s appointment can be overwhelming. No matter whether it’s the worry of getting a test result, understanding the treatment plan, or even making it to the appointment on time, that stress can reduce people’s ability to improve their own care. Through our Client Accompaniment Program, peer workers are there every step of the way, giving emotional support, improving communication with the health care team, and getting people to the appointment and back home safely.
Participants must use services from The Neighbourhood Group, TNG, Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre, LOFT Community Services, Centre for Addictions and Mental Health, Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre, Breakaway Community Services, The Jean Tweed Centre, St. Michael’s Homes, Unity Health Toronto or West Neighborhood House.
