Community Support and Human Services
Planning
Family, neighbourhood and community
networks, both formal and informal, are important in
new release areas. Opportunities
exist for working to boost community spirit.
New urban release areas,
by their very nature, lack
community cohesion. Residents
have often relocated from
other areas and have often
moved away from their social
networks and family. This
can often lead to feelings
of isolation and lack of
connection and reduce liaison.
There is a need to build
a sense of community in new
release areas to enable residents
to become part of a neighbourhood
are reduce isolation.
See additional information
on planning and
developing
human
or community services.
