What to Expect:

Once the WBP has received a referral, an initial screening appointment will be set up. During this screening, information will be gathered about the person and their areas of need to determine if they meet the program mandate.

In some cases, the WBP may not be the right fit, which we will make recommendations or a referral to another community agency/organization.
