Family Space at the Saint-Bernard Mental Health Campus
The Family Space is a dedicated welcoming area within the hospital, designed to facilitate interaction and connection between hospitalized parents and their children. It brings together families, often shaken by recent events, over a light snack, helping them cope. Games and activities offer a tangible connection during this disorienting time. The goal is to foster continuity or the re-establishment of family bonds.
