Community Services in English (SLCA)
SCLAs offer a wide range of CLSC-type services to the English-speaking population, from the youngest to the oldest.
The Foundation contributes to enriching several activities for clienteles (e.g.: Day center) as well as the development of programs and services (e.g.: complements to palliative care at home)
Caring for Caregivers
Project OASIS is one of the new major projects that was funded by the Foundation during the 2023-2024, thanks to the support of the Jeffery Hale Foundation. A $25,000 investment in our community, OASIS, which stands for Organisation d’Aide au Soutien à domicile des Individus supportant un proche en Soins palliatifs et de fin de vie, aims to alleviate the burden on caregivers of someone experiencing palliative and end of life care by providing homecare services, to prevent burnout and to provide some much-needed respite.
You are not alone.
Indeed, caregivers are a vulnerable group of our society who are often forgotten, left to deal with their pain, stress, and isolation alone, while taking care of someone near them. Project Oasis aims not only to support them through services, but also to show them that they are not alone and that the Jeffery Hale – Saint-Brigid’s has not forgotten them
Prevent Burnout and Provide much needed respite
The project is targeted at caregivers who are registered in the Jeffery Hale Community Services in English program and aims to offer caregivers experiencing or close to experiencing burnout up to 75 hours of respite per year and 100$ worth of food aid, free of charge. We expect that up to 80 individuals will be able to directly benefit from this project, without counting those who will benefit indirectly from it.
This project is the largest investment in a single project that the Foundation has undertaken in 2023-2024, and we are extremely excited to see the impacts it will have on our community. We applaud the Jeffery Hale Community Services in English for such an innovative and needed project.
