Thunderwing Program
Thunderwing is a community mobilization program that helps individuals and families address systemic barriers to reaching their goals. The program coordinates and mobilizes existing resources across sectors to give clients the support they need.
We do this with the support of the Thunderwing Hub and by building Thunderwing Support Teams.
The Hub is a committee of government and community agencies that use their knowledge and connections to build a plan to support clients in reaching their goals. Made up from multi-sector service providers, Thunderwing Support Teams are unique to each client. Support teams meet regularly to create and implement a coordinated action plan to achieve participant’s goals. Participants are actively involved in both their support team and their action plan.
Service providers can refer participants who live within Point Douglas community area. If you are unsure if participants qualify for our program, please contact us at thunderwing@mountcarmel.ca
