- Welcome/listening: Caregivers are present to welcome, listen to and support people living with difficulties.
- Reference: After learning about the issues, the community worker will suggest resources, programs or people better suited to the situation.

Whether it is support for filling out forms, making telephone calls or support for judicial or medical appointments, as well as helping contact the services offered by other organizations.
