Responding to COVID-19
CURRENT STATUS:
We are taking all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our staff, clients and community during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic continues, we will continue to provide optimal service delivery to our clients and the community.
In an effort to allay concerns, CMHA BHN Branch is providing clients with the option of phone or virtual supports in addition to in-person appointments, should that be their preference.
With the COVID case numbers increasing recently, especially in Haldimand-Norfolk, the 3 day a week in-office schedule will remain for the time being.
The agency is still planning to return our employees to a more robust schedule in the near future, and as soon as feasible.
Please be aware that the provision of face-to-face support is a requirement by the funders and a best practice in the sector, therefore face-to-face support for clients is possible during this period of time, with proper COVID protocols followed.
Any further changes to our current status will be communicated accordingly.
If you require further information on our current status, please feel free to call our offices for details.
