TransEstrie

TransEstrie’s main mission is to support the trans and non-binary communities of Estrie by creating services for them and by representing their interests to institutions, organizations and establishments in Estrie so that their services are adapted to trans and non-binary realities.

The organization was established from a “by and for” perspective, as we believe that the people best positioned to develop services and advocate for trans, non-binary and questioning people in the Estrie region are those who identify with these identities. We do not believe that there is one single way to be trans or non-binary and we work to reflect the diversity of our backgrounds through our administration, our employees and our services.

Report to the Director of Youth Protection

Big Brothers Big Sisters are always available to assist you in the reporting process.

The protection of children is the responsibility of their parents, but also of the community as a whole. Whether you are a child care worker, a teacher, a health professional, a police officer, a neighbour or a family member, you have an important role to play in screening children in great difficulty.

Children who are abandoned, neglected, psychologically abused, sexually abused, physically abused or have serious behavioural problems should be reported.
