Répit-Providence is a recognized and accredited community group by the Ministry of Health and Social Services.

History: Répit-Providence has been created to meet the needs expressed by the community since 1995.

Mission: Our mission statement is to support families and children through crisis by offering two days or more overnight respite. The Répit-Providence helps to foster a child’s emotional well-being through the maintenance of the parent-child bond, which in turn favours an environment conducive to the prevention of further social problems.
