CHCs see gaps in sexual & reproductive health care across Canada. CACHC’s national SRH project is turning those insights into action, developing evidence-based resources and tools to make care more inclusive and accessible. Follow along for findings and upcoming resources!

Les CSC constatent des lacunes dans les soins de santé sexuelle et reproductive partout au Canada. Le projet national de santé sexuelle et reproductive de l’ACCSC transforme ces constats en actions concrètes, en élaborant des ressources et des outils fondés sur des données probantes afin de rendre les soins plus inclusifs et accessibles. Suivez-nous pour connaître les résultats et les ressources à venir!

Strong data is essential for funding and advocacy, but CHCs face barriers from inconsistent systems, challenges in tracking, privacy concerns and a hesitancy toward Western data practices. Our 2025 National Survey outlines these barriers CHCs are facing and provides recommendations. https://www.cachc.ca/projects/

Des données fiables sont essentielles pour le financement et le plaidoyer, mais les CSC se heurtent à des obstacles liés à l'incohérence des systèmes, aux difficultés de suivi, aux préoccupations en matière de confidentialité et à une certaine réticence envers les pratiques occidentales en matière de données. Notre sondage national de 2025 décrit ces obstacles et formule des recommandations. https://www.cachc.ca/projects/

CHCs work to meet people where they are, but barriers like transportation, literacy and language access still prevent many from seeking care. CHCs are working to close these gaps and deliver culturally sensitive and equity-driven care. https://www.cachc.ca/projects/

Les CSC s'efforcent d'aller à la rencontre des gens là où ils se trouvent, mais des obstacles comme le transport, l'analphabétisme et l'accès à la langue empêchent encore bien des gens de se faire soigner. Les CSC travaillent à combler ces lacunes et à offrir des soins adaptés aux réalités culturelles et axés sur l'équité.

It's difficult to deliver the care people deserve when facilities are outdated or lack sufficient space. Survey respondents shared how these limitations affect the efficiency and quality of care to their clients. Read more in our survey report here: https://www.cachc.ca/projects/

Il est difficile d'offrir les soins que les patients méritent lorsque les établissements sont désuets ou manquent d'espace. Les participants au sondage ont discuté de la façon dont ces limites affectent l'efficacité et la qualité des soins prodigués à leurs clients.

Our 2025 National Survey highlighted the difficulties CHCs have in navigating staffing shortages and funding limitations, which lead to staff burnout and gaps in access for clients who are already underserved populations. Read our survey report to see our recommendations to mitigate these ongoing issues: https://www.cachc.ca/projects/

Notre sondage nationale de 2025 a mis en lumière les difficultés rencontrées par les centres de santé communautaires pour faire face aux pénuries de personnel et aux restrictions budgétaires, ce qui entraîne l'épuisement professionnel du personnel et des lacunes dans l'accès aux soins pour les populations déjà mal desservies. Consultez notre rapport d'enquête pour découvrir nos recommandations visant à atténuer ces problèmes persistants :https://www.cachc.ca/projects/
