PROFILE According to a study by the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) and Pocock (2014), English-speaking communities in the east-end of the island represent a significant 14,8% of the area’s population. However, it is common that the needs of these communities are overlooked. REISA seeks to promote the English language as a communication tool and not as the language of work, in areas where minority groups are more comfortable receiving services in English than in French. Examples of these groups include Chinese, Latino, Indian, Pakistani, Polish and Italian communities. Initially established in 2005 by the Collective Community Services (CCS) and now an independent and incorporated non-profit organization, REISA has assisted partnership development in three main areas: expansion of local-level services, outreach to new services and community capacity-building. Keeping the English- speaking communities’ needs in mind, REISA has identified four priority development sectors: Youth, Seniors, Intellectual Deficiency and Mental Health. REISA has supported community development in various fields including addiction services, drug awareness and prevention in schools, family counselling and mediation, integration of student trainees in community projects, mental health information and support groups, prevention and management of diabetes, and seniors activity groups and community development led by seniors. We are linked to regional English-speaking communities across Quebec for the sharing of healthcare expertise. Growing membership allows us to meet more and more observed needs by developing, importing and networking services in English.
