[The St-Jacques House, centre in mental health intervention.]
Abstract:
The Maison St-Jacques was founded in 1972 to provide emergency shelter for local youth. In 1975-1976 the therapists postulated that mental problems stem directly from social relations and their contradictions. Henceforth, their aim was to transform the objective situation of young adults (age 18 to 30) by intervening both individually and in groups, in their daily reality. Eight of the young people using the service, live in. There are a variety of group activities : household chores, recreations, work, meetings, etc. The work group is composed of 15 staff members whose ultimate goal is the social autonomy of the young adult.
