Metamorphosis is an independent network of community support service providers and health system partners. Our purpose is to collaborate to achieve enhanced client service, knowledge transfer, and service integration. A CSS planning team was established early in 2005 to facilitate integration and learning activities. The team is comprised of 9 members with representation from the 3 founding networks: Community Support Services Group of Peel; Halton Health & Community Support Services Network; and the Dufferin County Community Support Services Network. Since March, 2005, the network directory has grown to over 250 contacts primarily in Central West and Mississauga Halton, representing the following stakeholders: Community Support Services, Mental Health & Addictions, Consumers, Primary Health Care, Public Health, CHCs/FHTs, CCACs, Hospitals, Long-Term Care Homes, Government (LHINs, Central West Regional Office, and Queen’s Park), and other funders, e.g. United Way, and educators/researchers. The majority of network participants are providers of Community Care services including governance Board members, and staff. The Network initially received a $5,000 grant from Queen’s Park to conduct its first conference in March, 2005, and since has operated through minimal fees (from breakfast sessions, and yearly conference), charged to event participants. Leadership is provided through community care agencies on a voluntary basis.
