Comments

Community Services Coordination Network (CSCN) helps adults, children, and youth with developmental
disabilities and complex needs get the services and supports they require in Southwestern Ontario. We serve
the counties of London/Middlesex, Oxford/Elgin, Huron/Perth, Chatham/Kent, Sarnia/Lambton, and
Grey/Bruce. We work closely with individuals, families, service providers, and community partners to help
people navigate developmental services and children’s mental health systems.

We need volunteers to help us build a diverse board reflective of Canadian Society!
