The Canadian Institute for Human Services (CIHS) is an advocacy, education and action research organization for the advancement of health equity, progressive education, and social innovation. The institute collaborates with researchers, field practitioners, community organizations, socially conscious companies—along with various levels of government and educational institutions—to ensure that the Canadian human services sector remains accountable to the greater good of Canadian civil society rather than short-term professional, business or economic gains.
