As a trusted lead in health promotion, BANA proudly holds an active seat at Windsor-Essex’s most influential healthcare decision-making tables. By lending our voice to regional strategy networks, we ensure body image awareness, eating disorder support, and preventative health remain at the forefront of local care.

Credibility in community health requires more than delivering exceptional frontline programs; it demands an active voice where regional strategy is forged. BANA is proud to represent our community at major mental health and addiction leadership tables, including the Windsor Essex Ontario Health Team’s (WEOHT) Mental Health & Addictions (MHA) Sector Table.

Serving alongside regional hospitals, primary care providers, emergency medical services, and lived-experience advocates, BANA helps drive the system-level decisions that shape local healthcare. While the MHA Sector Table operates as an organizational engine to streamline care across Windsor-Essex, BANA’s participation ensures that specialized eating disorder prevention, health promotion, and community outreach are integrated into broader regional priorities.

From enhancing local navigation tools like WEC CONNECT to identifying care
gaps for underserved populations, BANA’s seat at the table guarantees that our clients’ and community’s needs directly inform systemic change. By aligning referral pathways, protocol design, and regional funding priorities with top health partners, BANA continues to strengthen local care networks, ensuring Windsor-Essex residents experience a more compassionate, seamless continuum of mental health support.
