"The key to Libby's whole approach was his insistence on the infinite worth of every human being as God's creation, regardless of the offenses he may have committed against society, against himself and against his Maker."

 "Community Connections" Mental Health Services Survey Launched18 Nov 2009
SLSC is pleased to announce that the Community Connections for Offenders who have Mental Health Disorders Online Survey was distributed on Wednesday November 18th, 2009. The survey has been created to collect information from Community-based Residential Facilities (CBRFs) about the mental health needs of offenders and getting them access to mental health care. With a target audience of approximately 160 CBRFs across the nation, SLSC expects significant results that will enrich the findings of our overall project, and give us a better picture of the needs of CBRFs and their residents. The project results will be published online in Spring 2010.
If you meet the criteria for completing this survey and are interested in taking it and sharing your thoughts with SLSC, please contact the Project Manager, Anita Desai, at SLSC's Head Office for a link to the survey. Annual Report and New Mental Health Project15 Oct 2009
