We believe that unsatisfactory experiences should be identified. Making a complaint is a constructive way to exercise your rights and improve the quality of care and services in the health and social services network.

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 – GÎM is an independent community organization. Learn more here.

History

Complaints assistance and support services (SAAPs) were created in 1993 to establish a more transparent and efficient complaints mechanism.

In 1996, the SAAP adopted the name Centre d’assistance et d’accompagnement aux plaintes (CAAP).  

For 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.
