Association des familles de personnes assassinées ou disparues (AFPAD) – Montréal Office
Organisation profile
The AFPAD is a non-profit organization whose main mission is to overcome the isolation experienced by the families of the victims, to develop links of solidarity between them and make it easier for them to reach the necessary resources so they can access the information and the tools they need to rebuild their life.
Services
The AFPAD offers a whole range of services to its members and is constantly searching for new services and activities that can answer their information and communication needs:
● Meeting with families after a drama (contact and assistance following the event, explanation of the judicial process and new legislation to families, media accompaniment)
● Legal accompaniment (information, support in Court at the beginning of a new step of the judicial process, legal support with institutions, assistance in writing testimonial letters to parole boards, assistance with court records, unresolved murders, criminal disappearances)
● Psychological help and financial support with the judicial process (additional help at the IVAC for psychological support, refund of certain expenses to follow up the process)
