The City of Nanaimo is working with community partners to develop a Situation Table (table) that consists of a multi-agency team focused on addressing specific situations where the probability of a vulnerable person or family experiencing harm is imminent, significant and cuts across multiple human service sectors. The table serves vulnerable individuals or families in situations of acutely elevated risk where risk prevention cannot be addressed by a single agency alone. Agencies at the table work collaboratively and rapidly to connect individuals and families to services before they experience a traumatic event.
