Three inspiring journeys, one shared mission: fostering well-being and inclusion. Discover the finalists of the 2025 Janette Bertrand Well-Being Award—individuals whose kindness is transforming lives.

Rephrasing is more than a listening technique — it’s a way to truly understand another person. One word at a time, we weave more genuine connections, and make the other person feel understood.

With the RPA Project – Giving Voice Back to Seniors, Tel-Aide Montréal creates caring spaces to break isolation, strengthen social ties, and value seniors’ voices in their communities.

When the world goes quiet, worries get louder. At night, loneliness and heavy thoughts often feel strongest — just when most services are closed. Tel-Aide Montréal is here to listen during those hours, offering comfort, confidentiality, and a caring presence.

What exactly is empathy? And more importantly, how does it shape the way we build connections? Behind this often-heard word lies a simple yet powerful attitude that can transform our relationships every day.

Today, we are pleased to announce a three-year partnership with KPMG in Quebec, who joins us as an associate partner to support our major campaign, TAM-TAM DON 2025–2028. 

We all say, ‘I’m not judging,’ but listening without judgment is harder than it seems. Discover why it’s so challenging, how to practice it, and why it matters in creating a more human, caring space.

Our main partner, Desjardins, has committed to supporting over three years our major fundraising campaign TAM-TAM DON 2025–2028.
