The Mother and Child Program is provided at no cost to Quebec residents and their children. Portage\u2019s Mother and Child program has been made possible through the collaboration and the contributions of the Fondation Lucie et Andr\u00e9 Chagnon and the Minist\u00e8re de la Sant\u00e9 et des Services sociaux du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t4. Where is the program located?\n\t\t The program is located in Montreal. The phone number is\u00a0514 935-3152<\/p>\n\t\t\t5. What languages is the program offered in?\n\t\t The Mother and Child Program is provided in French and in English.<\/p>\n\t\t\t6. What is the admission process?\n\t\t Admission is voluntary.<\/p>\n The mother can call the centre to schedule an appointment, during which the Admission Officer will assess her eligibility and help her establish a plan to prepare herself and organise important details before starting her treatment at the Mother and Child centre. Following this meeting, the mother will come to the centre for a one-day visit, where she will be paired up with another resident to get a feel for what the program is like. She will participate in therapy groups, take a tour of the facility with the Admissions Officer, and meet the nurse.<\/p>\n Once she has been admitted to the program, the mother must expect a delay of 10 to 14 days before her child can join her at the Mother and Child centre.<\/p>\n Please contact<\/a> Portage for more information.<\/p>\n\t\t\t7. Must clients be referred by health professionals?\n\t\t No. Referrals to the program can be made by the clients themselves, their families or guardians, social service agencies, hospitals, community resources, courts, schools, and other treatment providers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t8. How often will I see my family?\n\t\t After the resident has been at Portage for at least four weeks, family members can come to the centre for their first 6 hour visit. Following this initial visit, residents can leave the centre with their family every three weeks for 12 hour and 48 hour periods, first accompanied by a more senior resident, and then on their own. The family visit schedule is subject to change, at the discretion of the resident\u2019s caseworker.<\/p>\n There are fewer restrictions for the children. Grandparents and fathers who wish to take a child out of the centre for a visit must simply notify the centre\u2019s administration 24 hours in advance.<\/p>\n 1. Who is this program intended for?
