Info

~ Availability of somebody that can come to communities and be able to provide assessment for fetal alcohol and resources to support the assessment ~ The issue of aboriginal suicides ~ Development of a protocol for assessing children who came to hospital emergency rooms with feelings of depression, self-harm or suicide — the protocol should include follow-up services and informing the agency involved as to the safety of the child ~ Expand funding for out-patient treatment services Fund family counseling through preventive programs ~ Training to recognize signs of drug and alcohol abuse ~ More youth addiction treatment beds ~ More effective community services between agencies [187] These are only some of the recommendations referred to and are not specifically quoted from the report, however, I do feel they give a sense of some of the issues and concerns raised in this inquest and these issues are obviously matters of long standing concern and not unique to this inquest. (Phoenix Sinclair death) [188] I wholly recommend the report and its conclusions for implementation as of assistance in possibly preventing future tragic deaths such as we have heard in this inquest. [189] I particularly note the following in Ms Schibler's evidence as being specific to this case: ~ A larger circle of care to be developed "Recognizing that children need to be in a safe environment, I think it is reallv important to know that while the whole philosophv in child welfare supports or should support that the primary focus should be on preservation of families, at no point should a child's safety and wellbeing be compromised in order to have that happen." ~ Good risk assessment tools available ~ Nuclear family, extended family, community — to support the child ~ Resources for in-home supports, mentors, safety net for the child by alternate caregivers 45
~ Early intervention with early assessments with respect to safety and stability for the child. [190] These issues are obviously very pertinent to this inquiry. 46
