About L'îlot
L'îlot is a non-profit organization that was created in June 2001 to provide crisis services to the population of Laval. The organization is celebrating 20 years of essential services this year! Since its founding, L'îlot has helped 14,000 people in crisis, in addition to handling nearly 50,000 suicide prevention calls.
L'îlot is an essential cog in the wheel of life: more than 250 workers and some forty organizations trust the quality and efficiency of its services. In collaboration with its partners, the organization has saved several lives in Laval. The Center is proud to contribute to maintaining the lowest suicide rate in Quebec.
The pandemic has created greater psychological distress in the population. Mental health indicators point to greater needs for suicide prevention and crisis intervention. L'îlot wishes to increase its service offer in order to reach more Laval residents requiring mental health and suicide prevention services. This year, therefore, it launched a major project, The Archipelago of L'îlot, aimed at acquiring a building that will allow it to optimize its services. The acquisition of a larger building than the current one, that will allow to accommodate more clients, is essential for the pursuit of the unique and essential vocation of the center for the next 20 years.
L'îlot is a center whose mission is to offer a range of crisis services to adults and telephone intervention in suicide prevention, in complementarity and continuity with all the partners in Laval.
Our services are all offered in French and in English.
