Services to members

Psychosocial support

Listening, assistance and the support you need to better navigate through the difficulties associated with CVA and TBI.

At ACTE, each person is welcomed and accepted as they are. Each intervention, in the form of individual or group support, takes into account a person’s needs, strengths and limitations in order to promote the recognition of his or her abilities and personal and social development.

Our psychosocial support services are intended both for people who have experienced a CVA or TBI and their loved ones (spouse, parents, friends).

Individual support

We offer our members and their loved ones individual support through the difficulties related to a CVA or TBI:

  • Support and listening from a counsellor;
  • Information about the issue;
  • Referrals to other resources as required.
If necessary, our counsellors can come to your home.

“To me, ACTE represents a person who listens to me and understands when my heart is filled with sadness and discouragement. It is someone who provides guidance so I can enjoy a better daily life. Someone who refers me to the right resources when I am confused and helps me get the services I need. This is a BIG PLUS in my life… I am no longer alone, because there is always someone I can talk to and who can help me. Thank you ACTE for being there.” - France
