Abstract

The Organisme de développement et d'entraide communautaire (ODEC) is a nonprofit mental health organization that was established in 1987 and offers mutual help and community development services in the Valléc-de-la-Lièvre region in the Outaouais area of Quebec. Starting with an individual accompaniment service for people living with mental health problems, ODEC has succeeded in establishing a significant mutual help network that now involves more than 100 people. This article comes out of an in-depth case study of ODEC. By analysing the major parameters of its journey over more than 10 years, it brings to the fore the impact in the mental health field of providing a network in close association with community involvement.
