What is Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB)?


It is an umbrella strategy for numerous innovative initiatives, policy changes, programs, and data research analyses tools all with the same intent:

    Shifting to a more human-centred, multisectoral, and collaborative mindset, with a focus on risk-driven, proactive approaches, and applying evidence-based responses in a community to not only reduce crime and victimization, but also address other social determinants of health and well-being.

The Global Network team was key in the development of the concept of CSWB, working with multiple provinces and partners to identify, define, and build the language around it, and this thinking is a foundational element to everything we do.

An Important Flagship Model for CSWB

A Spotlight on Situation Tables

The Situation Table (originally called the Hub in Saskatchewan, and known to many communities in Ontario as the FOCUS model) is a risk-based, collaborative, rapid triage model. It focuses on addressing situations of AER, as seen across multiple agency lenses, affecting marginalized individuals and/or families in a given community.

Global Network was formed in 2015, by several of the original architects of this dynamic model, in part to provide communities the training they needed to implement the Situation Table through one single entity.

Today, this work continues and there are now over 150 Situation Table Models in place across Canada, and thanks to a unique partnership between Cordata Health and Global Network there are a growing number of tables in the US as well.

An Importance Resource

The Journal of CSWB

Launched in 2016, this journal is a peer-reviewed open access publication focused on CSWB. Growing quickly in its first 5 years, it has become a recognized unique global resource for high-impact research spanning all human service and criminal justice sectors, with an emphasis on their intersections and collaborations.

A Canadian publication, the Journal showcases the latest research relevant to Canadian and international communities and professionals, pulling from sources around the globe. Notably, in 2018, the Journal became an official peer-reviewed publication of the Global Law Enforcement and Public Health Association (GLEPHA), which is the language for CSWB outside of North America.
