Operating since April 1989, the Pavillon Prosper-Boulanger is a community-based residential centre welcoming exclusively a clientele of federal offenders. Its objective is to provide to parolees with a supportive and calm living situation that fosters the ability of each resident to begin and succeed their reintegration in society.
Program
Our programs are inspired by reality therapy. Through this approach in line with the basic values of our organization, the resident develops their ability for accountability and learns the behaviours and attitudes that will allow them to deal with today’s social constraints.
We provide a personalized helping relationship follow-up, suited to the clientele’s needs. Our program suggests four main objectives we believe are essential to reaching personal balance:
Occupational stability
A steady occupation constitutes a solid foundation to proper social life and helps feeling valued and successful.
Personal finances
A balanced and realistic budget allows one to be autonomous and responsible for their life choices.
Social network
Parents and/or friends with a positive influence and on whom one can count on.
Leisure activities
Relaxing moments are part of a balanced lifestyle.
