Since 2003, Isabelle Jasmin has been volunteering with the Centre d'hébergement Yvon-Brunet, which offers a unique and personalized support program that matches volunteers with lonely residents having difficulty adapting to living at the Centre. She offers residents comfort and support, tailors her visits by learning what makes them happy, and creates a non-judgmental atmosphere by lending an empathetic ear.
