The Rehabilitation centre for youth with difficulty (Centre de réadaptation pour jeunes en difficulté d'adaptation -CRJDA), also known as Youth centres or Child and youth protection centres, welcomes young people from 6 to 17 years of age who have difficulty adapting to society and who require specialized rehabilitation. This difficulty is linked, among other things, to personal factors and is manifested by maladaptive behaviours that are problematic in their relationship with their environment. The young people are supervised by educators who help them develop skills to ensure their reintegration into their family environment.

Family-type resources (FTR) and Intermediate resources (IR) enable client groups with a loss of autonomy or with particular needs to inhabit a living environment that closely resembles a home environment.

They are alternatives to residential and long-term care centres (CHSLDs).

Shared Services

Bound by contract, the CIUSSS de l’Estrie – CHUS and various resources share the responsibilities and the delivery of services to provide a living environment that is adapted as well as possible to client needs.

Family-Type Resources (RTF)

Family-type resources consist of foster families (for children) and foster homes (for adults). These are living environments that meet the specific needs of the people who live there. 

For example, adult clients may have a loss of functional independence related to a chronic illness, an intellectual disability, an autism spectrum disorder, a physical disability, cognitive problems, or serious mental-health problems.

These include, for example:

• group homes;
• rooming houses;
• supervised apartments; and
• other types of residential organizations.
