Programs

In Parc-Extension, 43.3% of the population is allophone (Statistics Canada, 2017). Sports and leisure are supporting tools to allow children to speak French outside of school. All activities are in French and immerse children in a playful and diverse environment. They have the opportunity to acquire vocabulary linked to the topic :

Park-Extension is characterized by a lack of green spaces and big families living in small spaces. There are few spaces dedicated for kids to meet up and few available resources to get sports equipment. To counter this, PEYO offers several sports activities to encourage kids to move!

Cricket lessons are given to forty kids every year. It is a well-known sport by the neighbourhood's communities and facilitates integration and multicultural encounters.

Sports programs have several benefits for kids: self-esteem improvement, identification to role models (counsellors and coaches) and less time in front of screens. They bring benefits necessary for good physical and mental health and help create social links. Our activities aim to develop a sense of camaraderie amongst children. These values and benefits were at the center of the organization’s founders’ vision and are still respected by the team’s current members.

    Social Pediatrics

    A standing woman with a face mask speaking in front of a class
    Mis en place par la Fondation Dr Julien en 2017, le programme Famille Enfants Réseaux (FER) se déploie dans différents quartiers de Montréal. À Parc-Extension, le programme est coordonné par PEYO. Il  vise à sensibiliser et outiller les enfants sur leurs droits et responsabilités en tant qu’enfant, afin qu’ils deviennent des acteurs de changements dans leur quartier!

    Le programme FER a été conçu autour de trois niveaux que sont la connaissance des droits de la Convention relative aux droits de l’enfant, l’apprentissage de la défense de ces droits par la communication pacifique et la mobilisation citoyenne à travers l’entrepreneuriat social pour œuvrer au sein de la communauté.

    Currently under development, PEYO will open a community-based social pediatrics center in Park Extension to meet the community’s needs for child health and development. This project is being led with the support of the Dr. Julien Foundation.

    Community-based social pediatrics is a healthcare model that aims to meet the needs of children and their families by offering health and support services tailored to their environments. This healthcare model focuses on prevention and early intervention to help children reach their full potential. Community-based social pediatrics involves close collaboration between healthcare professionals, social workers, and community members to offer comprehensive and personalized healthcare services.

     

    The Park Extension Social Pediatrics Center aims to become the point of reference for children in the neighbourhood who are living with sources of toxic stress that are detrimental to their development. The center will offer medical assessments and refer the child and their family to necessary resources to reduce or completely eliminate the negative impact on their daily lives. The center will offer medical assessments, psychosocial follow-up, and access to art therapy, psychomotricity workshops, and summer camp through other departments of PEYO. Through its partners, access to legal aid and extracurricular, sports, artistic, and cultural programs will also be provided.

    We would like to emphasize that our social pediatrics center will be designed in the image of the Parc-Extension community and will offer services adapted to the needs of the local population. We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where children and their families feel comfortable and supported. More than just a clinic, it will be a welcoming and supportive place for families, regardless of their migratory status or life path. The good health of a child and their family does not stop at the medical aspect. The team on-site will listen to children and their families and guide them toward the necessary resources to improve their quality of life and reduce sources of toxic stress.

    We hope that our project will contribute to improving the health and well-being of the children of Park Extension and their families. We look forward to welcoming you to our social pediatrics center and offering you quality health and support services to help you thrive.

    Meals on Wheels

    Meals on Wheels
    Depuis quelques années déjà, PEYO, l’association du troisième âge FILIA et le CLSC de Parc-Extension s’associent dans un projet de distribution de nourriture aux personnes âgées et isolées du secteur intitulé « La Popote roulante de Parc-Extension ».

    Ce service permet aux intéressés de recevoir des repas chauds, nutritifs et équilibrés tous les jours de lundi à vendredi. Notre équipe ainsi que nos bénévoles  sont fiers de participer à ce travail de soutien à la sécurité alimentaire des aînés et des personnes en perte d’autonomie. Ces livraisons journalières sont un outil de surveillance supplémentaire au travail des infirmières et travailleurs sociaux du CLSC et permettent aux aînés d’avoir un lien social avec l’extérieur.
