CAFE Program (Teenager-Family-Youth Crisis)

The CAFE (Crise-Ado-Famille-Enfance) Program was developed for children age 0 to 17 and their family who are experiencing a major family crisis.

Our CAFE team:

  • Is available 24 hours a day–7 days a week, year-round
  • Intervenes with support from professionals who can show up on site, as needed
  • Follows up to ensure that the crisis has been resolved

Learn more about how the CAFE program can help your family in this feature article.

  • Contact a CLSC (between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.)
  • Call Info-Social at 8-1-1, option 2 (after 9:00 p.m.)
