Becoming a family-type intermediate resource
As a family-type intermediate resource, you welcome into your home children or adults who have varying levels of intellectual disability or pervasive developmental disorders, including autism. These individuals have major difficulties whose intensity and frequency often require an environment more adapted to their needs.
Your role as a family-type intermediate resource is to share your living environment and respond to users' needs, in collaboration with West Montreal Readaptation Centre (WMRC).
In order to become a family-type intermediate resource, you must:
- be well-organized
- be in good physical and mental health
- have completed a college or university degree related to our mission
- be free of any criminal record
- offer an environment ready to integrate users as members of the family
- offer a stable, harmonious, welcoming environment, free of conflict or major problems
- be available to respond to users' needs (medical follow-up, clinic visits, emergency, etc.)
- be ready to work with WMRC and the users' natural family members
- participate in all training considered relevant by WMRC.
