Pluri-elles serves rural and
urban Francophone communities in Manitoba. Within the range of
services offered by Pluri-elles, Pour de meilleures relations works specifically with parents,
at-risk children age 0-6, and adolescents. It also has a community
component aimed at providing services and information to the broader
Francophone community in Manitoba. The project was
developed in 1995 to address gaps in service among the clientele of Pluri-elles. Consultations with Francophone community
services, including schools and community agencies, led to the development
of Pour de meilleures relations.
The
overall goal of Pour de meilleures relations is
to enhance the capacities of the project's priority groups to make
decisions that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. The project also
contributes to increasing awareness of French-language services offered by Pluri-elles for youth, children age 0-6 and their
parents, and the Francophone community of Manitoba. The project takes
into account the diversity within the Francophone community
(Franco-Manitoban, Québécois, French, Metis and
African women).

car so I would not be able to hang out with my friends and my kids if I
didn't have this program. I get to participate in french
which makes it even better." (Participant in the mother's group)
