Mission

We assist and support anyone who wishes to file a complaint against any institution or organization that is part of the public health and social services network. Our objective is to ensure users’ rights are respected.

To do so, the CAAP informs, advises, and offers direct assistance to individuals throughout the complaint process. See our services.

Our role is not to handle your complaint, but to help you through the complaint process.

The CAAP

• Acts as a tool to facilitate communication and conciliation with stakeholders throughout the process
• Fosters a more egalitarian relationship between users and the network
• Guides and supports users so they feel heard

The CAAP – Laurentides is an independent community organization. Learn more here.

History

Complaints assistance and support services (SAAPs) were created in 1994 to establish a more transparent and efficient complaints mechanism.

In 2004, the SAAP for the Laurentides region left Centre d’action bénévole d’Argenteuil and adopted the name Centre d’assistance et d’accompagnement aux plaintes (CAAP) des Laurentides. Volunteers were replaced by salaried advisors.

For nearly 25 years, the CAAP has worked with community organizations in the region to encourage all stakeholders to improve the quality of health and social services.

Our Members

The CAAP is a non profit organization that relies on the voluntary support of member organizations and individuals. By supporting its mission, members help create an influential network with a common vision where people can exchange ideas and collaborate. You could be a CAAP member too! It’s free.
