Description: 

The presentation focuses on a new program called “Parent-appui”, which is being piloted in Rimouski. This program is designed to provide a support service for significant others of children who have a parent with mental health problems.   The program includes individual and group support, as well as respite activities for those involved. It aims to strengthen the role of grandparents and other significant people in children’s lives to foster their development and well-being. The overall aim is to encourage the involvement of the child’s natural networks to create a more harmonious circle of protection and develop a better understanding of the child’s situation.
