Community Services Staff Safety Initiative (CSSSI)

The Community Services Staff Safety Initiative (CSSSI) has launched a set of resources to support community service providers in their workplaces. The resources are available to ACDS members. See below for details.

CSSSI, a partnership between ACDS, ALIGN, AASP, and the Government of Alberta ministries of Children's Services and Community and Social Services, was launched in September 2019 to increase safety and reduce harassment and violence in the community services sector, including disability services.
