OUR STORY

A space for engagement, creativity, and connection

Founded in 1999 by parents from the Saint-Michel neighborhood in Montreal, our organization has evolved over time to become a warm and welcoming place. In February 2017, thanks to the generosity of the Yvon Lamarre Foundation, we acquired a house located at 9281 14th avenue, in the St-Michel district of Montreal. After major renovation and adaptation work, we opened our doors in December 2017.

Our primary commitment is to break the isolation of families with a relative with an intellectual disability, with or without autism spectrum disorder by offering the best service, place and enviroment to promote autonomy and social development of each user.

Caring

We are determinated to create a caring and stimulating environment for each of our participants.

Suitability

We are focus in providing quality services, tailored to the needs of each user.

Commitment

We are passionately committed to our mission of support and accompaniment.
