They cannot provide professional mental health advice or counselling, though they can help locate those services.

World-class emergency, surgical, mental health and inpatient care is provided to families from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and in specialized cases, Newfoundland. In addition to the thousands of patients who require inpatient care at the IWK, tens of thousands more visit our ambulatory clinics for outpatient management of conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and asthma. The IWK’s care touches Maritimers far beyond the walls of the Health Centre. Through traveling clinics, children in communities throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island visit with IWK physicians and nurses at their local hospitals. Clinical specialists at the IWK also participate in Telehealth – a network that allows our care teams to consult with patients, families and other health professionals throughout the Maritimes using telehealth technology. As a result of our outreach to communities outside of Halifax, patients can often receive care closer to home and reduce the stress and cost of traveling to the IWK.District 12. Halifax Downtown.

The LDANS guides parents by providing support, understanding and information on the avenues open to them when their children are identified as having learning disabilities. The Association will not offer legal advice, nor will the advocates (i.e. parents of other children with learning disabilities, people with learning disabilities, members of the association, or other interested people). However, the goal of the Learning Disabilities Association is to help parents better understand their children's disabilities and make them aware of the support systems already in place across the province. Through these services, parents will hopefully become aware of their children's educational rights, and use this knowledge to obtain the best possible education for their children, working as a member of a team with various school board personnel to help their children. One of the goals of the LDANS is to guide parents through the involved process of coping with a child who is experiencing learning disabilities at home and at school, in order to maximize opportunities for sucess. Overall, the LDANS is designed to advance the education, employment, social development, legal rights and general well-being of people with learning disabilities. District 5. Dartmouth Centre.

Metro Turning Point Centre is a non-profit, multi-service, charitable agency which now operates under the umbrella of SLSNS since their merger. Support Services and Trusteeship are provided to men and women of our community experiencing poverty and other housing-related issues. Many individuals accessing Metro Turning Point Centre struggle with alcohol, mental health issues, and/or substance use/abuse. Their programs and services are specifically designed and developed to support people over the age of 16 who are experiencing homelessness, housing issues, and/or poverty. As mentioned, Metro Turning Point Centre offers comprehensive support to assist their clients in transitioning from crisis back to community as individuals who are experiencing homelessness may have complex health, social, communication and behavioral challenges. Believing strongly in the dignity and self worth of each individual, they have continued to evolve their own program(s), developing a high support, harm-reduction model over time, implementing new philosophical changes to program delivery and service expansion beginning on November 1, 2008. These expansions provide them the ability to operate a 24/7 service, affording their clients the ability to stay in a warm and safe environment during the daytime hours as well as the night. This is in conjunction with their Day Program Services and their recognized Trusteeship Program. They are proud to also endeavour to provide shelter to individuals who require shelter for themselves and their pet, wherever possible.District 13. Halifax Downtown.

It is one of four Friendship Centres in the Maritimes, the others being in Fredericton, N.B. and St. John's and Goose Bay (both in Newfoundland-Labrador). In its early years the Mi'kmaq Native Friendship Centre operated a hostel and provided transitional services to support the transition of Aboriginal people to life in the city and various programs, funded by Corrections Canada, aimed at individuals released from prison. Over the past 30 years the Centre's programs and services have changed to meet the needs of the ever-growing urban Aboriginal population in the Halifax area. In the 1980's, the Centre developed various employment and education programs. For example, in 1985, it established the Kjipuktuk Aboriginal College to offer educational and employment training programs for Aboriginal peoples. The College has met the demand through a variety of programs, including among other things upgrading courses, computer courses, courses to prepare youth for university and college, and resources and support for small businesses. It also has provided support to the establishment of various other urban services for First Nation people, such as the setting up of Tawaak Housing to increase access to affordable and safe housing for First Nation people in Halifax an a native counseling unit in Hanson College at Dalhousie University. Over the past decade, the Friendship Centre has established a day car and child development centre ("to insure the wellness of our children and families in an urban setting"), and various youth programs, It has also operated the "Metro Urban Referral Program" (service, access and support) and converted the original hostel set up in the 1970's into a 'Shelter for Learning that provides living accommodations and transitional support and services for people who are currently homeless. It has also set up a number of alcohol and drug programs, such as the Mainline Needle Exchange and the Methadone program. In addition, the Centre has also set up the Kitpu Youth Centre and sponsored a yearly Elder and Youth Conference which has been will attended, and an annual mid-summer Art and Cultural Exhibit at Dalhousie Arts Centre that has provided very popular with tourists and Haligonians alike.District 12.

All rental fees go back to the organization to maintain the facility or to assist with the cost of providing entertainment for your enjoyment.In 1928, the people of Middle Musquodoboit designed and began to build this impressive three level wooden structure as a meeting hall for the Odd Fellows' Lodge, but it was designed to serve many purposes in this rural community. On the main floor was a large lobby with a ticket booth in the middle, and a stairways leading to the 3rd floor. The main floor provided meeting rooms for the I.O.O.F. Craigmyle Lodge and Elm View Rebekah Lodge, and a large main floor meeting room with a kitchen at the back. The basement area housed a massive cast iron wood burning furnace and wood storage room. On either side of the furnace room were two long narrow rooms - one sported a two lane bowling alley, still being used in the 1980's; and the other, a long dining room which provided space to serve community suppers. The top floor housed a 350 seat live theatre with graduated floor, stage, curtains, and a dressing room cleverly built between the two upper levels. A set of steps and a rope drawn elevator connected the dressing room and the backstage area to the main floor and the basement. The original theatre area had an aisle down the middle and sometime later, a movie projection area was built in that aisle. During the early years, silent films were shown in the upstairs theatre with background music supplied by an in-house piano player and as late as the early 60's, movies were still being shown. Traveling shows performed at the "Odd Fellows' Hall" - including Don Messer and Wilf Carter. Many local aspiring actors debuted on the stage of the theatre and school plays and recitals were annual events. Older residents of the Valley remember annual visits of the Chautauqua circuit performers to the Theatre - they were treated to a variety of stage entertainers ranging from magicians and drama to singers, dancers and orators - something appealing to all ages. Perhaps it was from this early introduction to the performing arts that the the love of music and performing, so evident in the hearts of the Musquodoboit Valley people today, had its roots. The Odd Fellows' Hall was the centre for entertainment for over 50 years and was maintained by the Odd Fellows up until the late 1970's when their membership was declining, maintenance costs for the building were rising, and the burden became too much for the the small group to bear. In 1983, the building was turned over to the community for the nominal sum of $1.00, on the provision that a Board of Directors would be elected at an open public meeting. At about this same time, the ownership of the building itself was taken over by the Municipality of Halifax County - today the amalgamated Halifax Regional Municipality. District 1.

NSASW envisions an organization that represents the professional beliefs, values and principles of its members to foster a just, diverse, equal and holistic society. It provides leadership and service to its membership that increases the visibility, durability and adaptability of the profession and influences justice through effective advocacy and social action to achieve a diverse, equal and just society. Social work is based on a philosophy of humanitarian and equalitarian principles. The profession of Social Work holds as core values a belief in the intrinsic worth and dignity of every person; their ability to make decisions and their right to self-determination. Social workers recognize, however, that society grants us a great deal of discretionary powers and that our clients may be at a vulnerable point in their lives, or be otherwise socially disadvantanged. Therefore social workers seek to balance this public trust with personal accountability and the regulation of their social work practice. All persons who practice social work in Nova Scotia must be registered with the Nova Scotia Association of Social Workers.District 12. Halifax Downtown. Located in downtown Halifax.

The Nova Scotia - Cuba Association (NSCUBA) was established in 1989 by a group of students, professors, and activists following the highly successful conference on Cuba sponsored by the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Development (CELACAD), Saint Mary's University and Dalhousie University. In 1997, NSCUBA became a Registered Society (#3004874), a move prompted by the growth of our work and a recognized need to distinguish itself from other organizations wishing to establish links with Cuba. Under this structure, NSCUBA operates with a Board of Directors and performs a yearly audit of the organization's finances. Thier mandate: To promote education & advocacy on issues concerning Cuba, to facilitate cultural exchanges and to assist development projects. These objectives will be achieved through activities such as the publication of a newsletter, sponsorship of educational seminars & cultural events, co-sponsorship of events with other groups & organizations and facilitating public speaking opportunities for Cuban visitors. NSCUBA members hold diverse perspectives on Cuba, yet stand united against the U.S. embargo / blockade. They believe Cuba has the right to sovereignty and self determination.

The General Educational Development (GED) is an international high school equivalency testing program for adults. The GED is composed of a series of five tests that evaluates participants’ skills and knowledge in the following subject areas : Language Arts, Reading; Language Arts, Writing ; Mathematics; Social Studies; and Science. The GED tests are designed to measure the skills that correspond to those of recent high school graduates. The tests involve the ability to understand and apply information; to evaluate, analyze, and draw conclusions; and to express ideas and opinions in writing. Adults who pass the five tests receive a Nova Scotia High School Equivalency certificate of Grade 12. Many adults who did not graduate from high school have acquired skills through work, community, family and study experiences, at or above a secondary school level. The GED allows these adults to demonstrate academic abilities that are equivalent to those of high school graduates.District 12. Downtown Halifax. Located in downtown Halifax.

The Nova Scotian Institute of Science was founded in 1862 as a direct descendant of the Halifax Mechanics Institute (1831 to 1860+) and the Halifax Literacy and Scientific Society (1839-1862) and thus is one of the oldest learned societies in Canada. The Institute has always functioned as a meeting place for scientists and those interested in science. Among its roles are stimulation of scientific research and provision of scientific information; throughout the Institute's history there has always been an effort to bring science closer to the public. Currently such elements as the exploitation of natural resources, increasing populations, urbanization, industrialization and possible global climate change illustrate the need to help people understand the relevance of science in their lives. The Nova Scotian Institute of Science has a unique part to play in that it provides scientists, technologists, educators and administrators with the opportunity to speak directly to the community. The Institute was needed in 1862 and it is still needed today and for the future. Membership is open to any person with a professional or amateur interest in science, research or teaching. Programs include the regular monthly meetings held in the Halifax area on the first Monday of every month at 7:30pm in the NS Museum of Science, Summer Street, Halifax. These meetings are open to the public and scientific or related topics of contemporary interest are presented by experts. The subjects range from the mysteries of outer space to natural foods and environmental issues; always the attempt is to ensure relevance to issues of the day.District 13. Northwest Arm, South End.

The goal of the services is to improve employment outlook, to provide resources to aid clients in the process of identifying opportunities in their chosen occupational field and to shorten the duration of their employment search. The services of People Plus provide the client with the job search tools necessary to support a continual approach to career development. They do not provide resumés and perform other job search services for the client; rather they provide assistance, support, resources and expertise to enable the client to build effective job search skills. Clients who develop their own materials will retain the skills required to effectively manage career change now and in the future. An inventory and evaluation of prior skills and experiences is the cornerstone of their services. Through unique and effective skills identification exercises, clients are able to recognize and validate their previous work, education, volunteer and community involvement and life experiences. To develop an effective resumé, to prepare for the interview and to network effectively, clients are guided through a process in which they must recognize and validate their prior experiences. In terms of the job search, clients who have performed an inventory of their skills and abilities are better equipped to provide written and verbal evidence of their value as a potential employee. They facilitate a proactive method of job search that allows the client to confidently market their relevant skills. Clients are assisted in developing a unique self marketing plan to confidently identify and approach potential employers. Activities related to this project are carried out in a supportive environment that respects the dignity and diversity of all job seekers. The target population are the unemployed or job threatened workers. They range from recent graduates of private institutions, technical schools, community college and universities to those in mid career and transitions to seasoned workers. Through years of experience, their expert facilitators have developed group management techniques proven to be effective in delivering job search interventions to a wide range of demographics and occupational objectives.

In 2005, PWAC became the Professional Writers Association of Canada, reflecting the broader professional interests of approximately 600 members across the country.

Pier 21 Society is a registered non-profit organization based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Its inception in 1988 resulted from a concern among a small group of people, working in the areas of immigration and culture, that the building which had at one time housed a major immigration port of entry facility was falling into disrepair. More importantly, the history surrounding Pier 21, a key port of entry into Canada, was in danger of being lost. Today, the Society is directed by a Board of 20 dedicated volunteers, as well as numerous other volunteers whose time and efforts make the development of Pier 21 possible. District 13.

We all know that real and important learning takes place in many settings and through many activities — in addition to formal education and training programs. These settings include the workplace; family and community life; volunteer, church and union activities; travel and hobbies. PLA believes that all such learning that can be identified, described and documented, deserves to be recognized. PLA services and programs help individuals, organizations and communities to pull together a comprehensive and systematic inventory of what they know and can do. These lifelong learning inventories — and the confidence to tackle new learning opportunities and challenges — are essential assets in our constantly changing economic and social circumstances. More and more individuals, employers and community leaders see the assessment and recognition of Prior Learning as a basic to their employment goals, their business objectives and their economic and social vitality.District 11.
