Polarization Clinic

What we do

The Polarization Clinic is located at the CLSC de Parc-Extension. We have a mandate from the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS) to offer services throughout Quebec in conjunction with our regional partners. The team is made up of social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, including child psychiatrists, who are experts on social polarization issues.

To the extent possible, we adapt our services to suit each person’s needs. These services are completely free of charge, with no obligation, and offered in the strictest confidence.

Services are provided in our offices at the CLSC de Parc-Extension or in a more convenient location near you.

Reasons to consult us

  • You’re concerned about questions to do with social polarization and radicalization in all its forms (far left, far right, religious).
  • Some people consider your ideas or actions to be radical, which may be making you feel uncomfortable or distressed.
  • You’ve been the victim of discrimination or a hate crime or you fear you could be.
  • You’re worried that perhaps a family member or friend is becoming radicalized and you’d like to talk about it and see how the person could be helped.
