Yes, and we see that in our services.
Because we are a multiservice YWCA, we have the largest network of employment programs for women. We move people from that scarcity emergency into skilling, upskilling and re-skilling, and then help them attain a job and be able to rebuild their lives. We give them access to child care and give the younger people in their care access to camps and other services so that they have that wraparound service. This includes counselling and other things they may need for their mental health, and other areas as well, such as legal help. That multiservice approach is an approach that we would like to see supported and funded adequately.
