Hello all! 

As many of you know, last month we hosted the first ever resource mapping fair for the Salish Region. It was a great success, but, due to the current restrictions, attendance was very low. Resource mapping only works if it includes as many organizations and individuals as possible, so we are going to continue collecting information through an online form!

What is Resource Mapping?
Creating a visual representation of resources and identifying gaps in services for Native and Non-Native people across our region. We will identify gaps, network and share information, and ultimately create a digital, GIS map of resources and services that will aid in referrals, collaborative outreach, and help us all to better serve our community. 

Why should you participate? 
For us, success only comes when the entire region participates. We need your help! A successful resource map will: 
- Improve and increase access to resources and services 
- Enable the creation of new resources to areas that need it most 
- Increase networking and collaboration to provide better service for all our clients
- Develop comprehensive and effective partnerships both within and outside of our traditional networks
We can do better! Our neighbors are still struggling to access services they so desperately need. A map that is available to all communities and all agencies will ensure no one goes without life-saving resources. 

The survey is 24 questions long, and reviews all the different categories and types of services provided across the Salish Region. It will take you about 10-15 minutes to complete. Please use the box at the end to add any missing information, topics, or items we may have not included, or send an email with questions or clarifications to myself at marissa@naahillahee.org

Please forward to your networks, and anyone who works in client-facing social services or other agencies!
