Centre de Ressources pour Hommes de Montréal

What Centre de Ressources pour Hommes de Montréal does

Centre de Ressources pour Hommes de Montréal (CRHM) is a non-profit community organization (OBNL) founded in 1993 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, dedicated to psychosocial support and wellbeing for men in the Greater Montreal area. Its core offering is structured around four integrated service pillars: (1) Accueil et orientation — confidential phone, email, and in-person intake and referral; (2) Suivi individuel — short-term, personalized psychosocial follow-up of up to 12 sessions with a trained worker; (3) Groupes et ateliers — paid group programs including anger management ($125 for 10 sessions), stress management ($70 for 7 sessions), life balance ($60 for 6 sessions), and a weekly Café-Rencontre discussion group ($5, income-adjusted); and (4) Hommes en action, which operates the 'Local Milieu de vie' drop-in at Centre du Plateau plus a calendar of community outings and activities across Greater Montreal. A multimedia content layer (the Ballado podcast, video testimonials, 'Coffre à outils' practical toolkits, partner directory, and annual reports) supports awareness and self-guided use.

CRHM is funded through institutional grants from CIUSSS du Centre-Sud de l'île de Montréal, Emploi-Québec, Services Canada, Ville de Montréal / Arrondissement Plateau-Mont-Royal, supplemented by individual donations via CanadaHelps (one campaign raised $14,115 toward a $50,000 goal) and ~3,000 volunteer hours per year. Operations run on standard digital infrastructure (Zoom, web, email, Google Analytics) with no proprietary technology platform. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors (President Camille Lacoste, VP Pierre L'Heureux, Secretary Vincent Ploux, Treasurer Victor Onofrei, plus directors Daniel Leblanc and Denis Casselot) and led operationally by Directeur Éric Couto (T.S.), with Steve Gagnon serving as spokesperson since 2021. Distribution is via phone (514-355-8300 / toll-free 1-833-OSE-CRHM), in-person at the June 2023-expanded headquarters at 2240 Fullum (2nd floor), the drop-in local at Centre du Plateau, and Zoom, with referral partnerships providing a bottom-of-funnel feed of clients. The customer base consists of individual men across Greater Montreal and Quebec; there is no enterprise client base and revenue concentration sits with a small set of public-sector funders.
