  • Service Referral Guide by Function
    SERVICE REFERRAL GUIDE BY FUNCTION Introduction: This resource is intended to assist service providers in the use of a “no wrong door” approach to service information and referral, often referred to as “every door is the right door”. When a family or individual comes to you with a problem that is not in your area of expertise, this list will direct you to the not-for-profit organization that is knowledgeable in that field, sector or function. By connecting with experts in other fields, you as a service provider become better equipped to seamlessly navigate clients towards the appropriate organization or service, using a “warm hand-off” which simply means “good customer service.” Please CLICK HERE to see what a “no wrong door” approach to information and referral looks like. Every effort has been made to develop a resource for service providers in HPE that is: User friendly: In order to be concise and easy to use, this service referral guide cannot list every program and service available in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. But it will connect you to organizations that are leaders in their field, sector or function. Facilitates seamless referral: Organizations listed are knowledgeable about what programs and services are available in their field, sector or function, and how to access them. Includes Francophone and Aboriginal service listings where available. Includes service listings for geographic locations throughout Hastings-Prince Edward (HPE) where available; i.e., Bancroft, Belleville, Madoc, Picton, Trenton, Tyendinaga. Other key sources of local service information: For programs not listed in this manual, dial 211 or CLICK HERE.
