Catherine Washipabano describes DPSS (Cree)
Disability Programs Specialized Services (DPSS) of the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay leverages their resources to support the Miyupimaatisiium Care Team (MCT) and the Extended Care Team (ECT) in the areas of neurodisability and complex disability profiles. This support is provided through knowledge sharing and a collaborative approach to complex disability case management, neurodisability program delivery, as well as respite planning and funding.
DPSS operates in a supportive role to these teams rather than directly interacting with clients themselves.
