Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec

What Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec does

Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec is a nonprofit social pediatrics organization founded in 2011 and headquartered in the Limoilou neighborhood of Quebec City, Canada. The organization provides integrated medical, psychosocial, and legal services to children aged 0 to 18 living in vulnerable situations, and to their families, through a multidisciplinary team of approximately 24 intervention professionals spanning social work, psychoeducation, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and specialized therapeutic activities including art, music, and animal-assisted therapy. It serves roughly 400 children annually and delivers more than 50 hours of weekly therapy through specialized programs such as the 'Corps, coeur et esprit' mental-health initiative.

The underlying 'technology' is the social pediatrics care model itself, which integrates clinical care with psychosocial intervention and child-rights legal advocacy rather than any software platform. There is no application, no API, and no proprietary AI capability; digital surface area is limited to a public website, email newsletter, and standard partnership/referral communications. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through philanthropy: over 80% of funding comes from individual donations, corporate partners (Bell, Beneva, Desjardins, iA, Sun Life, TD, etc.), municipal and foundation grants (Caisse de dépôt, Ville de Québec, Fondation Jeunes en tête, Fondation Le Petit Blanchon), and event-driven fundraising such as the annual 'Acquis de droit' gala and 'Loto 7 de coeur' lottery.

Services are delivered free of charge, and a stated impact metric indicates that $2,654 provides one year of complete care for a child. The organization is governed by an independent board, with no parent company, no venture or private-equity ownership, and no disclosed revenue figure. It is preparing a 2026 relocation to a larger dedicated facility at 2006 chemin de la Canardière, co-developed with Fondation Le Petit Blanchon, with major construction partner Pomerleau.

Product overview

Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec is a healthcare and social services organization (not a software/technology product company) that provides medical care, psychosocial intervention, and legal support to children aged 0-18 and their families in vulnerable situations in the Limoilou area of Quebec City. The organization operates as a single integrated service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. Services include pediatric medical consultations, psychosocial support, therapeutic interventions (art therapy, music therapy, animal-assisted therapy), ergonomic therapy, speech therapy, legal mediation, and community programming. The organization conducts fundraising campaigns including Loto 7 de coeur, Petits pas et merveilles book collection, and the mental health program Corps, coeur et esprit, but these are social programs and campaigns rather than software products.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• La Maison Bleue: Montreal-based nonprofit providing integrated perinatal, medical, and psychosocial care to vulnerable pregnant women and young families. Shares the same interdisciplinary, community-based, social-medicine approach for vulnerable children and families in Quebec.
• Fondation du Dr Julien: Pioneer of the social pediatrics model in Montreal and the originator of the approach that the Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec has adopted. Operates multiple Centres de pédiatrie sociale across Quebec, making it the closest direct peer in mission, model, and target population.
• Fondation Le Petit Blanchon: Quebec-based foundation supporting vulnerable children and families; current co-developer of the centre's 2026 Canardière relocation. Operates in the same vulnerable-children space and is a structural partner-peer.
• Fondation OLO: Quebec-wide nonprofit supporting vulnerable families with young children through nutrition, perinatal support, and community-based services. Comparable mission around improving early-childhood outcomes for at-risk populations in Quebec.

Broad incumbents

• Canadian Paediatric Society: National professional association representing pediatricians and advancing child health policy. A broader incumbent in the pediatric care ecosystem that contextualizes the centre's clinical model within the wider Canadian pediatric care landscape.
• Kids Help Phone: Canada's national 24/7 e-mental-health service for youth. A much larger incumbent in the broader Canadian children's mental health and support space, providing a comparable (though remote/digital) layer of psychosocial support to children and adolescents.

Regional players

• Fondation des étoiles: Quebec-based foundation funding pediatric care and research across the province. Comparable in being a Quebec-focused children's health nonprofit, though it channels funding rather than directly delivering integrated social pediatrics services.

Others

• Patro Roc-Amadour: Quebec City community organization that co-founded the Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec. A peer in the community-services ecosystem and a direct historical and operational partner.
