Répit le Zéphyr is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the social integration of individuals living with an intellectual disability (ID) or an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), while enabling their families to achieve greater freedom of action.

In-home Respite and Caregiving
Services may be provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, depending on family needs and the availability of support workers.
Respite Services
A set of planned services that allow caregivers to take time to rest and recharge, in order to offset the additional stress and fatigue caused by the particular needs of a child or an adult living with one or more disabilities. These services aim to prevent family caregiver burnout and help them better organize their daily lives.
Caregiving Services
Caregiving is intended as support provided not only because parents are exhausted or need temporary assistance, but also because they need to organize their daily lives under conditions similar to those of other families.
