Le Néo

What Le Néo does

Le Néo is a non-profit community organization headquartered in Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada, founded in 2002 by current Director General Martin Fournel. It operates as a regional autonomous community organization ("organisme communautaire autonome régional lanaudois") serving the Lanaudière region with selected partnerships extending into Montreal. The organization delivers free, confidential individual support, peer support, and group-based services across four thematic areas: sexual health, LGBTQ+ sexual diversity, trans and gender-plural identities, and HIV/STBBI screening and support. It complements individual services with a structured training and workshop catalog for healthcare, education, and social-service professionals, priced at $650 CAD for half-day and $800 CAD for full-day sessions (with a 25% discount for Lanaudière community organizations). The organization runs the L'Apparte youth space (ages 12-17, open 3 days per week) and the Réseau des Alliés, a network of over 600 trained community allies across Lanaudière.

Le Néo's revenue model blends unrestricted income (donations, legacies, fundraising) with unit-priced professional training fees for B2B audiences. Distribution is purely regional and community-led: services are delivered at the head office, through mobile outreach (kiosques and workshops in schools, healthcare facilities, workplaces), and via referral partnerships with CLSCs and clinics (Clinique médicale l'Actuel, CLSC de Joliette, Aire Ouverte Lanaudière) for HIV/STBBI testing and PrEP. Marketing channels are limited to organic social (Facebook), the website, and annual awareness events (May 17 IDAHOT, December 1 World AIDS Day).

The organization's technology footprint is minimal — a standard WordPress website, Google Analytics, and ClikSanté for appointment scheduling. No proprietary software, AI systems, patents, or mobile applications are in use. The organization has grown organically from a single-director operation in 2002 to a team of approximately 9 staff in 2025-2026, including certified sexologists, a regional development advisor, animation managers, and an EDI coordinator. Notable named partner-institutions include Cégep constituant de Terrebonne (Comité Caméléon) and École secondaire Armand-Coril for school-based LGBTQ+ committees.

It operates youth programming including L'Apparte 12-17, a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth. Professional services include workshops (ITSS 101, diversity demystification) and training programs (trans identity, sexuality and aging) for healthcare and educational professionals.
