Children and youth 6-17 years old

The Center for Young Boyce-Viau (CJBV) was established in 1993 to intervene with adolescents. But as it proved relatively difficult to reach, the CJBV has focused on children aged 6 to 12 years. In 1997, a new coordinator is hired for the youth sector, in addition to two-site facilitators. The same year, the body becomes autonomous CJBV.Since then, the organization involved with youth 6 to 17 years and their families.

The Youth Centre Boyce-Viau is located in the heart of a complex of the same name HLM housing about 200 households. Like all organisms in HLM, the CJBV has the great advantage of being located in the living environment of the population targeted by the project.

In the context where the CJBV is part of the society of neighbors, because of our location in the heart of public housing, we have a vital role to play. Trust is at the heart of any successful social interaction. To intervene, we must gain the trust of parents, overcome their mistrust and give them confidence.

This action results from several local considerations, with its advantages and disadvantages. The CJBV aims to prevent adjustment problems by providing parents and young people particularly vulnerable support and guidance they need. The CJBV seeks to achieve the objectives of the development of new attitudes and new attitudes, both among young people than their parents. The CJBV includes two areas: one for children 6 to 11 years and one for teens 12 to 17 years. In addition, the organization provides support activities for parents and recovery. We should also mention the work of family intervention in both areas is carried out mainly by the work environment.
