Community Mobilization
Apr 19, 2023
Community Mobilization is a partnership representing over 40 agencies from diverse community sectors – health, children’s services, justice, education, mental health and addictions, and social services. Working together, our Mission is “leading and connecting for improved community well-being through proactive collaboration and response.” CMHA-S/M plays an administrative role in the facilitation of this partnership.
One aspect of the Community Mobilization program is the Rapid Mobilization Table (RMT), which was initiated in May 2014. Representatives from partner agencies meet twice each week to collaboratively identify situations that place Sudbury residents at high risk of harm. All necessary partners then plan and participate in a timely, coordinated response – connecting those at risk with the services and supports that can help.
There are also three local ad hoc situation tables; the Espanola and Area Situation Table supporting the town of Espanola as well as surrounding communities including the townships of Baldwin, Sables Spanish Rivers, Nairn-Hyman and the communities of Sagamok Anishnawbek, Whitefish Falls, Willisville, Beaver Lake and Worthington (initiated in October 2018); the Sudbury East Mobilization Table supporting the Municipalities of French River, St. Charles, Markstay-Warren and Killarney (initiated in October 2019); and the Sudbury North Situation Table supporting the communities of Chapleau, Biscotasing, Foleyet, Gogama, Kaplan, Shining Tree, Sultan, and Westree (initiated September 2024).
Data collected from these tables is used to identify trends, common risk factors and potential gaps in community services. This information is shared with leaders and stakeholders to inform community planning and decision-making.
Community Mobilization releases its 2024 Rapid Mobilization Table Data Report
This report shares what we saw in 2024 at RMT —what risk factors were most often identified, who was impacted and potential ways this information could contribute to community safety & well-being planning. Please contact us at cms@cmha-sm.on.ca if you would like more information about the report findings or to explore ways in which this data can support your own program or community planning.
