This project was developed by the Table Enfance Famille de l’Ouest-de-l’Île (the West Island Childhood/Family Consultation Table), a unique grouping of community and institutional partners working in the field of health and social services. The main promoters of the project are the Pierrefonds Community Project and the West Island Women’s Centre, two community organizations with a long history of helping West Island women and families.
