The United Way - Centraide Movement had its roots in Canada in early part of the 20th century. At that time, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish charities began to raise funds to strengthen their communities. Over the years, the United Way - Centraide was known as the Red Feather, the Community Chest, and the United Appeal. In the 1970s, these organizations adopted the name of United Way and Centraide. United Way of Canada - Centraide Canada (UWC-CC) is a national organization created in 1939 and supported by 126 member United Ways and Centraides (UWs-Cs) in Canada. It acts as a voice for the members within the Canadian voluntary sector and international level.

Le Mouvement Centraide-United Way a pris naissance au Canada, au début du XXe siècle. À l'époque, les associations de bienfaisance catholiques, protestantes et juives commençaient à recueillir des fonds afin de venir en aide aux plus démunis de leur milieu respectif. Au cours des années, le Mouvement a adopté divers noms : la Plume Rouge, la Caisse de bienfaisance et United Appeal. Dans les années 70, ces organismes ont décidé de retenir le nom Centraide et United Way. Centraide Canada-United Way of Canada est une organisation pancanadienne créée en 1939 et financée par 126 Centraide-United Way membres au Canada. L'organisation se fait le porte-parole de ses membres au sein du secteur bénévole canadien et à l'échelle internationale. Chaque Centraide-United Way est une entité autonome gérée par un conseil d’administration composé de bénévoles choisis dans le milieu desservi. 1, record 1, French, - Centraide%20Canada

Le Comité régional du troisième âge de la Petite-Nation(CR3A) est un organisme à but non lucratif. Le but premier était de recréer l'esprit d’entraide qui existait autrefois dans les paroisses québécoises, en venant en aide aux plus démunis. On constatait que le CR3A avait de grands objectifs et ce, en tentant de sensibiliser les personnes âgées à l'importance que celles-ci pouvaient avoir auprès de leur communauté. En 2007, le 5 juin, lors de l'assemblée générale annuelle, les membres ont adopté une résolution afin de modifier notre appellation. Dorénavant notre organisme portera le nom de Comité Régional Troisième Âge Papineau. 1, record 2, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20R%C3%A9gional%20Troisi%C3%A8me%20%C3%82ge%20Papineau

Certes, La grande guignolée des médias évolue. Cependant, elle garde toujours la même mission, soit venir en aide aux plus démunis. Ainsi, les objectifs sont simples : favoriser le partage et l'entraide au Québec. La période des fêtes est celle où la nécessité d’aider les gens qui vivent dans la pauvreté se fait sentir avec la plus grande urgence. La grande guignolée des médias invite donc les Québécois à faire preuve de solidarité sociale en offrant généreusement des denrées non périssables et des dons en argent. Les dons amassés serviront tant pour la période des Fêtes que pour les mois difficile qui suivront. C'est le 13 décembre 2001 que La grande guignolée des médias a fait ses premiers pas. 1, record 3, French, - La%20grande%20guignol%C3%A9e%20des%20m%C3%A9dias

Que faire à l'école d’un enfant qui vit des événements dramatiques au sein de sa famille, soit parce qu'il est lui-même malade, soit parce qu'un de ses proches a été victime d’un accident ou est décédé ? La plupart du temps, les enseignants sont totalement démunis face à la douleur de leurs jeunes élèves; c'est alors que l'aide d’une infirmière expérimentée peut être bienvenue. Deux expériences sont présentées : l'une concerne la formation des futurs enseignants, l'autre décrit un debriefing post-traumatique auprès d’un enfant endeuillé. Dans tous les cas, la recette est : parler, parler, parler.... mais avec doigté ! 1, record 7, French, - debriefing%20post%2Dtraumatique
