Yes, we used federal programs. Two of our stakeholders have received the CESB; many of our stakeholders are students. For us, these programs have been essential in dealing with the situation. We wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.
I am a part-time employee at the Maison des jeunes and I benefited from the CERB as an employee of another organization for which I worked. As I said earlier, I was able to give some of my time to the Maison des jeunes through social networking. So the programs were essential for us and helped us get through the crisis. The needs are immense and we would certainly like more. We are dealing with huge anxiety issues among young people.
Of course, our team is downsized this summer, but thanks to you, Ms. Chabot, we were able to have one more counsellor during this period.
We have to adapt continuously and it's difficult, because we're always a bit caught in the middle. In our meetings with stakeholders in early summer, we were wondering how we were going to respond. No one knew, but we still had enough money and a team, even a small one, to be able to intervene with young people this summer.
