About Regroupement des services d'intervention de crise du Québec

History

The Regroupement des Services d’Intervention de Crise du Québec (RESICQ) was founded in February 2003, and now includes 22 members from all over the province. One of the core values of the group is to promote community-based and alternative practices for crisis intervention. The RESICQ is guided by a commitment to the primacy of the individual and to the quality, continuity and consistency of crisis intervention services offered by its members.

The announcement in 1986 by Minister Thérèse Lavoie-Roux on the creation of specialized crisis intervention centers was intended to help ease the burden of overcrowding in psychiatric emergency wards throughout the province.

Today, a network of 22 crisis centers provide free services to all adults coping with or experiencing a psychosocial, psychopathological or psychotraumatic crisis.

Unfortunately, there are still a number of major regions in Quebec that do not benefit from a comprehensive range of crisis services: including Mauricie, Côte-Nord, Nord du Québec and Chaudière-Appalaches.

Our aim is to work in close collaboration with all societal stakeholders involved, to ensure that we can deliver  comprehensive community crisis services to populations in need, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
