MAKING A DIFFEREnCE
Testimonials
Sunny Street provide a vital service for the young people accessing Night Cafe. Previous to Sunny Street being in the space, Night Café workers have had limited options in terms of escalation of care for young people looking to access health care. Often times, the young persons accessing night café have a history of trauma when accessing mainstream health care, the outcome being a refusal to go with emergency services and or refusal of accessing mainstream health care options the next day. Sunny Streets’ unique approach to health care solutions coupled with their trauma informed consultation makes them a very accessible service to persons in this situation who may or may not access health care through mainstream avenues. In terms of Night Café this well and truly has been the trend we have noticed. Young people whose quality of life has been impaired by barriers to health care have found a pathway to access health care in a way that is safe, accessible, and affordable to them.
