OcSobre is simple, accessible, and beneficial to all!

Launched in 2015, OcSobre is the main fundraising campaign of Le Grand Chemin centres. Since the first edition, more than $800,000 has been raised to ensure that the services are free of charge for the teenagers who are staying at one of the three Le Grand Chemin centres—located in Montréal, Québec, and Saint-Célestin (Centre-du-Québec)—aged 12 to 17 and living with addiction or cyberaddiction. 

OcSobre is an initiative that aims to raise awareness among its participants about physical, mental, and digital health. Just like our teenagers who commit to a therapy to overcome their addiction, OcSobre offers to adopt a healthier and more balanced lifestyle during October. This exercise allows the participants to be more aware of their bad habits, of the effects that their sometimes harmful behaviour can have, but most of all, of the benefits of sobriety and balance. 

Take inspiration from the teenagers of Le Grand Chemin, who choose to beat their addiction. Like them, seize the opportunity to bring positive and long-lasting changes in your life. To adopt a healthier lifestyle is just like starting new!
