Crise-Ado-Famille-Enfance (CAFE) Program

What is the CAFE Program?

The  CAFE (Crise-Ado-Famille-Enfance) Program is intended for children aged 0 to 17 and families dealing with a major family crisis.

Our team of social workers and specialized educators is committed to finding solutions to keep children from being placed and to prevent the need to report a situation to the director of Youth Protection (DYP).  

This service is available 24/7.

A social worker will gladly give you advice, answer your questions and direct you to the right resource. Depending on the situation and following an analysis, professionals may be dispatched to the site of the event in question (home, school, etc.) to help you manage the crisis and find solutions.
