Our Mission
Our association, the Community Social Services Health and Safety Association of BC (CSSHSA) is composed of over 2,500 member organizations, all integral to the Community Social Services (CSS) sector. Our mission is to foster and promote safer and healthy workplaces in the Community Social Services sector in British Columbia
Our Initiatives
The CSSHSA provides support and delivers health and safety information, education, and resources to employers and employees (unionized and non-unionized) of our membership. We engage the CSS sector to support implementation best practices in health, safety and well-being. And we continue to build industry partnerships to improve the health and safety culture of the sector.
Our Values
Our values are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. We understand that our commitments to reconciliation and equity, diversity and inclusion are threads which weave through and inform how we engage with the sector and how we approach prevention.
Engagement
We use our knowledge, experience and diversity to build partnerships and community connections. We are committed to continuous improvement based on input and feedback from the sector.
Reconciliation
We commit to the journey of Reconciliation, recognizing it as both an individual and collective responsibility that calls for continuous learning. We honor Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and leading, and strive to weave these principles into our organizational culture and practices.

Territorial Acknowledgement
CSSHSA humbly and respectfully acknowledges the unceded lands of more than 200 distinct First Nations in British Columbia. We further acknowledge that colonization and associated attitudes, policies, and institutions have significantly changed Indigenous peoples’ relationship with this land. In our work and in our lives, we are committed to listening and learning, to truth and reconciliation, and to finding better ways of being on this land.
