Sante Mentale au Quebec

In 1976, the community mental health centre (Centre de santé mentale communautaire) of Saint-Luc Hospital organized the first symposium on sector psychiatry. During deliberations, the participants expressed the idea of publishing the various experiences that were then current in the field of mental health. With the help of the symposium’s revenues and the financial support of professionals, the Centre de santé mentale communautaire edited the first issue of Santé mentale au Québec in September 1976, with both objectives of publishing experiences and research in the field of mental health, as well as facilitating exchange between the various mental health professionals.
