R\u00e9mi Racine, President and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhvr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Behaviour Interactive<\/a>, along with two members of his team, to the Mental Health Living Unit located on the upper floors of the Manoir-de-l\u2019\u00c2ge-d\u2019Or residential center in the Jeanne-Mance neighborhood.<\/p><p>Since 2023, this living environment has welcomed adults aged 18 to 100 who do not require hospitalization in a psychiatric unit, but who also lack the autonomy needed to live alone. Here, each person can feel at home while benefiting from specialized care (psychiatry, medicine, nursing, social work) and a program of activities that supports gradual reintegration into the community.<\/p><p>Initially, the unit was set up on a single floor. Since February 2025, two floors now accommodate 30 residents in redesigned spaces that better meet the population\u2019s needs. This new environment aims to provide both residents and care teams with a warm and safe living space.<\/p><p>While infrastructure work was funded by the government, it is thanks to the generosity of Behaviour Interactive and the Leclerc-Racine Foundation that Fondation Sant\u00e9 Urbaine was able to finance furniture, specialized equipment, and materials for sports, arts, and music activities. These contributions transform clinical spaces into true living environments.<\/p><p>Fondation Sant\u00e9 Urbaine warmly thanks Behaviour Interactive and the Leclerc-Racine Foundation for their essential support.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ce2f41 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0ce2f41\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-287eb41 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"287eb41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Carrousel d\u2019images\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 5\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/fondationsanteurbaine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/UnitedeSanteMentaleC.webp\" alt=\"De gauche \u00e0 droite : Kaven Gauthier, Gestionnaire, relations publiques (Behaviour Interactif), Anastasia Unterner, Directrice des communications (Behaviour Interactif), Vicky Kaseka, Directrice des programmes sant\u00e9 mentale et d\u00e9pendance (CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l&#039;\u00cele-de-Montr\u00e9al), Marie-Andr\u00e9e Veilleux, Directrice adjointe en sant\u00e9 mentale (CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l&#039;\u00cele-de-Montr\u00e9al), G\u00e9raldine Habif, Cheffe de l\u2019Unit\u00e9 de vie en sant\u00e9 mentale (CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l&#039;\u00cele-de-Montr\u00e9al), Christian Lalonde, Coordonnateur sant\u00e9 mentale par int\u00e9rim (CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l&#039;\u00cele-de-Montr\u00e9al), Val\u00e9rie Duchesne-Carle, Directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de la Fondation Sant\u00e9 Urbaine, R\u00e9mi Racine, Pr\u00e9sident-directeur ex\u00e9cutif et fondateur de Behaviour Interactif, Isabelle Matte, PDG du CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l&#039;\u00cele-de-Montr\u00e9al, Danika Bouchard, Conseill\u00e8re s\u00e9nior -
