Le Havre

A caring space to refocus, exchange and soothe. Our mission: to provide a peaceful, comforting place for people undergoing palliative care and their caregivers. In a warm atmosphere, we offer resourcing activities that encourage exchanges between peers, to break isolation, create bonds, and experience moments marked by gentleness and humanity.

Who can benefit from our services?

Our services are designed for people who :

have been diagnosed with an incurable, life-limiting illness;
no longer receive curative treatments;
benefit from an integrated palliative approach;
reside in the Outaouais administrative region.

We also provide support for the caregivers of these people, who also need to be listened to and given a break.
