Manitoba Health and Social Services Network Navigation Guide
The purpose of the guide Guide de navigation du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux du Manitoba is to help French-speaking individuals navigate Manitoba’s healthcare network. It is designed as a practical tool to assist Francophones in quickly finding their way within the healthcare system. Whether they are newcomers, travelers, or long-time residents facing a new health issue, people often have many questions and need support to locate the appropriate resources within the network.
In line with its mission to improve access to high-quality health and social services in French, Santé en français collaborated with the Réseau en immigration francophone (RIF) of Manitoba to create this guide with the following objectives in mind:
- Helping people understand Manitoba’s healthcare network.
- Providing key contact information and access pathways.
- Offering guidance on how to access public services and certain private services.
Update – March 2025
This updated version of the guide includes additional content to better support the needs of Francophones in Manitoba. New resources have been added on mental health, violence prevention, and support for children, families, and people living with disabilities. A summary table of mental health access points has also been added in Appendix B to help users navigate available services. Sections 11 to 14 of the guide (pages 33 to 44) have been enhanced as part of this update.
