The Association of Social Rehabilitation Services of Quebec (ASRSQ) is a coalition of non-profit community organizations working in the field of social and community reintegration of offenders. It brings together nearly 80 organizations that work with individuals who have had run-ins with the justice system.
The ASRSQ promotes social rehabilitation and crime prevention across the province through various initiatives and supports the work of its member organizations by offering a range of services tailored to their needs.
The ASRSQ provides its members with active support and a wide range of services, including continuing education, increased visibility with correctional services and the general public, as well as opportunities for collaboration and networking through various committees and activities.
The ASRSQ firmly believes that community involvement in addressing issues related to delinquency contributes to social development and collective well-being. The Association therefore works to promote crime prevention by supporting the community-based interventions of its members, such as community supervision, community service, restorative justice, and employability initiatives.
