Services

A team of front-line psychosocial intervention workers on-site 24/7 to meet the diverse needs of our participants and community members.

We also offer the following services:

• Meals : We offer three hot meals, coffee and snacks, thanks to our partners (e.g. Moisson Montréal), our cooks and volunteers.

• Clothing : We provide clean seasonal clothing for people of all genders, thanks to donations received.

• Hygiene (showers) : Our premises have two showers; hygiene products are supplied.

• Laundry : We have an on-site laundry service.

• Haircuts : We occasionally provide haircuts at the center. Contact us to know when the next haircut day is!

• Individualized support from our frontline team.
• Access to a telephone and four computers every day. This empowers participants while respecting personal autonomy, and enables participants to maintain links with their loved ones.
• Referrals to addiction rehabilitation centres; in certain cases, accompaniment to the centre.
• Weekly support groups available on-site.
• Community, Compensatory and PAAS-Action hours on-site.

We’ve partnered with several organizations and institutions in the medical, social and legal fields in order to offer on-site services:

• Nursing services : In order to provide on-site health services to the community members, we have partnered with the CIUSS and McGill. Whether it is for basic health care, STI testings, vaccinations,  follow-ups or referrals, these partnerships offer on-site nursing services to meet an important need in the community and improve the quality of life of those that access it. We also have a doctor from the Book Humanitaire on-site on a monthly basis.

• Legal aid : Representatives from the Mobile Legal Clinic and the First Peoples Justice Center come on-site to help participants and community members understand their rights and represent them in legal procedures.

• External social services : Personalized support is provided on-site by social workers from various community organizations and institutions such as the Equipe Connexion from CLSC Métro and Dialogue from the YMCA.
