Mental Health & Addictions North COVID-19 Innovations: Greenstone Collaborative

The Greenstone region includes five small communities and six First Nations, spread across 3,172 square km., with limited resources for their large geography. The Greenstone Collaborative has already been established for several years, holding regular meetings to work on local issues. With the pandemic, the communities found themselves with decreased staffing and were also lacking volunteers since seniors, who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, make up a large portion of Greenstone’s volunteers.

See how organizations in the Greenstone Collaborative came together to leverage their existing capabilities, to meet the emerging needs of the pandemic.
