Troubled youth and their family
This program brings together the services intended for youth, from early childhood until adulthood, and for their family, and provides help with, among other things, developmental or behavioural problems which may sometimes turn into adjustment difficulties. Accommodation in rehabilitation for youth with adjustment difficulties is also part of the program.
To access these services, except accommodation, requests from users, partners and physicians are received by the staff of the regional access gateway and are then sent toward the appropriate service.

Rehabilitation services
Rehabilitation for youth with adjustment difficulties: The services aim to ensure the rehabilitation and the development of children and teenagers with severe adjustment disorders, some of whom also have mental health problems.
