Réseau des Centres de ressources périnatales du Québec
1996
In the spring of 1996, changes were made in prevision of the economy and job industry colloquium made couple of days earlier in October of the same year. In the enthusiasm from the colloquium, an organisation called NAISSANCE-RENAISSANCE, four perinatal field community groups and the social economy built a project then validated with their principals partnerships such as, the ministry of Health and Social Services, the conference of Health and Social resources directories and the Quebec Association with CLSC-CHSLD before depositing it to the colloquium in October 1996.
1996
The project about the economy employment in 1996, wanted to develop 15 Perinatal Resource Centres (CRPs in the French acronym), on a period of 3 years, all across the province of Quebec.
1999
During that time lapse, 10 CRPs gather with one goal in mind, forming the Réseau des Centres de ressources périnatales du Québec, with the mission of sharing their expertise, management tools and to assure the expansion of CRPs all throughout the province. RCRPQ is now the promoter of CRPs since September 1999.
2001
In 2001, at the finish line of the project, 10 CRPs were formed and recognized by the ministry of Health and Social Services.
2024
Nowadays, RCRPQ counts 31 CRPs in 16 regions of the Quebec province.
Mission
The RCRPQ mobilizes, supports and speaks on behalf of Perinatal Resource Centres in order to help all of Quebec’s new and future parents access their services.
Values
- Sharing and collaboration: Working together, growing and learning from one another.
- Proactivity: Innovating, seizing opportunities and adapting to the changing reality of perinatal resources centres and families.
- Engagement and passion: Cultivating a sense of community and collectively creating a caring future.
- Collective well-being: The ideal that grounds us and bring us together!
CRPs
Who are the Perinatal Resource Centres?
All throughout Quebec, Perinatal Resource Centres (CRPs in the French acronym) are non-profit organizations that offer perinatal activities and services for parents and future parents.
CRPs give parents a helping hand as they adjust to and transition through each new stage, from before conception, to pregnancy and birth and until their baby reaches the age of two.
Examples of activities and services
Each CRP has the autonomy to design the range of services it offers and tailor them to the needs of its region. These services help parents and parents-to-be shoulder their new roles, grow their knowledge, enjoy the perinatal experience and connect with their community.
- Pre- and postnatal physical activities
- Prenatal meetings to prepare for baby
- Relevailles (at-home support services)
- Lactation support
- Activities for baby (massage, stimulation/alertness, etc.)
- Activities and support groups for dads
- Baby carrying
- Postpartum depression support and prevention group
- Perinatal loss support
- Coffee gatherings
- Presentations about pregnancy, birth and life with baby
- CPR and first aid
- Car seat safety check
- Documentation centre
- And more!
Present in 16 administrative regions of Quebec, CRPs are well-known and established non-profit organizations. To receive RCRPQ affiliation, CRPs must meet all the criteria required for the seal of recognition, which ensures that all CRPs offer the same high-quality services.
