Our history
Building a Mechanism ...
Following the 15th anniversary of the International Day of Awareness of Elder Abuse on June 15, 2020 and during the COVID-19 pandemic, members of society from Laval met to discuss the issue of offer of services to vulnerable users.
The reflection mainly focused, not on the service offer since several community, private and government organizations are already prosperous in this phase, but rather on homogeneity and easy and quick accessibility for a user in a vulnerable situation.
These members did not suspect at the time that they had just installed the first gears of a #Mécanismesocial!

Our main clientele, seniors, who are they?
They hold wisdom, wit, and often serenity just like the color.
Unfortunately, loneliness, melancholy and sadness are often part of their daily life.
It is said in psychology, the color PURPLE represents the need for advice, protection, guidance, to have a goal, to find meaning, for integrity and honesty.
That's why it's the proper nickname for the Mécanisme d'Assistance pour Usagers Vulnérables!
