When it was founded in 1986, Maison Jeun'Aide, as its name suggests, welcomed clients between the ages of 18 and 30, homeless and with drug addiction problems.
In 1995, following a partnership agreement with the Correctional Service of Canada, the vocation took a new tangent whereas it would henceforth be directed towards people in the criminal justice system.
Despite this change, the clinical foundations have always drawn their source from a humanist-type approach. We believe that the social reintegration of the individual must be done by allowing him to express himself on what he feels. He must pose as the main actor in his career in order to take responsibility for his actions.

The move to these apartments aims precisely to establish a framework where social reintegration is first and foremost part of the primary actions which aim to bring the subject to free himself from the care of the child. system. The suddenly granted autonomy contrasts with the many requirements to which the subject had become accustomed to responding. We are thus trying to reduce the dependency that could have formed over the years so that he can regain control of his daily life. Concretely, this means enabling him to meet his obligations, whether in terms of meals, maintenance of his home or the payment of his accounts.
