In making decisions, or expanding programming, SIRCH considers various Social Determinants of Health. This group of social and economic factors, such as income, social support, coping skills, education and employment helps us develop services and social enterprises that create lasting positive impacts on individuals' overall well-being.
Our history goes back over 3 decades. SIRCH has developed dozens of services for Haliburton County and other communities. Some were piloted by SIRCH before transferring them to other organizations. Some we delivered ourselves. Some closed when no longer needed or when funding dissipated.
