Spectrum Society at 25: One agency's story of transformationErnie Baatz
Started in 1987, Spectrum Society for Community Living provides a range of supports to adults in communities from the Sunshine Coast to the Fraser Valley. Over the past five years, we’ve been rethinking some of our assumptions about the role of services, moving away from program models and hierarchies to a more personalized, network-driven approach, and expanding the scope of our agency. We will describe a process of engagement, reflection and renewal that began with a small project in 2007 and how such projects can be a vehicle for agency transformation.
