Relais Famille support groups provide a safe, caring, and non-judgmental space for people affected by the judicial involvement of a loved one. They help break isolation, encourage connection with others facing similar realities, and offer support in an atmosphere of respect and confidentiality.

​

Facilitated by a qualified professional, the groups promote the expression of emotions, the sharing of experiences, and the collective exploration of strategies to better cope with everyday challenges.

​

Participants are free to take part at their own pace, according to their needs and personal limits.

The groups address, among other topics:

• the emotional and family impacts of judicial involvement;

• feelings of isolation and stigmatization;

• strategies for taking care of oneself and one’s loved ones;

• available resources and tools.

​

Support groups are open to anyone affected by the judicial involvement of a loved one, regardless of the stage of the legal or correctional process.

​

At Relais Famille, we believe that peer support and attentive listening are essential to getting through these challenges and regaining a sense of stability and belonging.
