Welcome to the Community Networks of Specialized Care

On May 18, 2005, as part of the transformation of developmental services, the Ministry of Community and Social Services (MCSS) announced that four networks of specialized care would be established across the province. The purpose of the Networks is to enhance service to adults with a developmental disability who need specialized care for co-existing mental health and or/ behavioural issues. In March, 2006, MCSS announced the lead agencies for the four Networks:
  • Northern Ontario – Hands TheFamilyHelpNetwork.ca 
  • Central Ontario (from Waterloo in the west to Peterborough in the east, including Simcoe County and the Greater Toronto Area) – Surrey Place Centre (Toronto), Community Living Huronia (Midland), Central West Specialized Developmental Services (Oakville),
  • Eastern Ontario (from Hastings County east to the Quebec border and north to Renfrew County) – Ongwanada and Valoris
  • Southern Ontario (including the Hamilton and Niagara regions and southwestern Ontario) – Bethesda and Regional Support Associates
