An event organized by our CIUSSS’s Alliance program on October 11 brought together the leadership of community organizations, schools and daycares with dozens of managers from our network’s frontline sites, including CLSC Benny Farm and CLSC Métro. 

The idea behind the “speed-dating” activity—which took place in a casual and convivial setting—was to introduce participants to their counterparts at community organizations, so they could strengthen ties and discuss their practices with one another. 

Alliance, an intervention program run by the CIUSSS’s Children-Family-Youth psychosocial teams, collaborates with community partners, institutions and families on the prevention of neglect.
