Street Outreach works to effectively case manage street entrenched individuals to ensure they are connected to adequate resources, in an effort to meet basic needs. This continues to be done in partnership with other service providers, such as Interior Health Authority (IHA), Interior
Community Services (ICS), Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), and Aboriginal Friendship Society (AFS).
This team is currently comprised of two full-time day staff, along with one evening position. It continues to be a highly visible and dynamic team, that can be seen working in all areas of Kamloops. The ASK Wellness Society evening street outreach staff currently partners with CMHA to better facilitate individuals attempting to access shelter services. Additionally, this service has seen increased collaboration with the City of Kamloops to better address the needs of the vulnerable population.
