The CLSC OLO Program

The purpose of the OLO supplement program is to encourage the birth of healthy babies by helping low-income pregnant women eat well.

This program also provides monitoring by a nutritionist and, if needed, by a psychosocial counsellor or a nurse.

Front-line service at 450 627-2530 extension 64922 

The SIPPE Program of the CLSC (Integrated Perinatal and Early Childhood Services)

This program is intended for expectant moms and parents of infants under 1 year of age living below the low-income threshold (as established by Statistics Canada) and who haven’t graduated from high school or who feel socially isolated.

Before or after the birth, the CISSS of Laval offers support services to parents, in collaboration with certain community organizations.
