Workshop: HELP is on the way! How to Offer, Give and Receive Help
We all love to help, but it can be frustrating. Avoid being resented, resisted or refused, at home, at work or with friends. Why is help not always helpful? Listen, learn and connect with others to offer or receive help.
The workshop is open to community groups, health professionals, youth 16+, seniors and families!
Please see details in the attached poster photo!

Information Sessions on Families in Transition – Building Lasting Co-Parenting Relationships
Every year, thousands of Quebecers experience the break-up of their families and a growing number are experiencing co-parenting living. Separations, remarriage, forming new partnerships and divorce are impacting the lives of parents and their children on a daily basis. Consequentially for some families, a variety of struggles can occur. The task of re-building lives while maintaining family relations in the midst of change often requires outside intervention and services which are either inadequate or not readily available.
REISA is committed to supporting these families and will be providing monthly information sessions aimed at creating a space to help families navigate the separation process. Meetings will be held at the Leonardo Da Vinci Centre and will be led by Dominic D’Abate of Consensus Mediation Center with the presence of a lawyer. Please consult our calendar of events for the dates of our monthly meetings.
If you are a professional who is interested in this topic, there is an accredited course outlining the legal context of working with families. You can find out more by consulting the Argyle Institue website in the continuing education section: https://argyleinstitute.org/event/the-practice-and-legal-aspects-in-working-with-families-in-transition/
Health passport for Montreal East
Through funding and support from the CHSSN, REISA has produced a Health Passport for Montreal East. The goal of this guide is to make it easier for an English-speaking person to communicate with French-speaking health professionals. The health passport web application has been designed to help you and your family keep track of essential health information and puts helpful words and phrases at your fingertips.
