Campaign to raise funds to support the CISSS de l’Outaouais in the fight against COVID-19
The professionals and administrators of the Pierre-Janet Hospital aim to create a pleasant living environment for its patients in order to improve their health by developing an outdoor space that will include a therapeutic walking path, a multi-sport field, exercise and animation stations and a playground. Various spaces will be set up all along the walking path, each offering a different type of physical activity or event.
Outdoor environments, just like indoor environments and sports facilities, are an integral part of the care and rehabilitation environments for inpatients, whose average length of stay is approximately 50 days. The hospital’s outdoor spaces – which have been outdated or unusable for years – require improvements and new facilities, especially since the hospital underwent major renovation. Currently, the outer courtyard and infrastructures are not adequately developed for these activities and do not meet the community’s needs. .
Founded in 1965, Pierre-Janet Hospital is the only mental health hospital in the Outaouais. This exciting project will therefore provide an additional work tool for the staff and give them a powerful catalyst for patient mobilization, health and well-being. A good living environment is just as essential as medical or pharmacological treatment and healthy lifestyle habits for achieving wellness in patients suffering from severe and persistent mental illness.
Nearly one in five people will suffer from a mental illness in their lifetime. Mental illness is very common and mental disorders account for nearly 20% of the burden of disease in our society.
