Who we are

Welcome to Enfant-Retour Québec!

Enfant-Retour Québec, founded in 1985 is the only non-profit organization in Quebec whose mission is to assist families in the search for their missing children and to educate the public in order to decrease the occurrence of children disappearing.

Through the years, Enfant-Retour Québec has developed a unique expertise in educating the public about the prevention of abduction, aggression and exploitation of children. Our website contains the most complete, comprehensive and up-to-date information in the area of child safety ranging from newborns to adolescents.   As well, we feature current cases of missing children, a calendar of events that also includes a list of dates of all our upcoming child safety clinics, media releases, volunteering opportunities and an on-line donation form.   We invite you to visit our website and familiarize yourself with the wealth of preventative information that is now conveniently available at your fingertips!

Enfant-Retour Québec’s innovative and highly effective programs in the area of child recovery and safety are provided free of charge and rest exclusively upon the generosity of individuals and corporations. Our personal safety workshops focus on recognizing and enhancing a child's self-esteem, autonomy and the right to say “NO!” to anyone or in any situation that leaves them feeling uncomfortable, confused or scared.  The more confident and competent children are about keeping themselves safe, the more empowered they will be to deal with other challenging situations-in the classroom … in relationships with peers and later in the workforce.  We are providing children with skills for life.   

Enfant-Retour Québec is dedicated to making our world a safer playground for all children ... a place where children can be children – innocent, safe and loved ...  may childhood remain the sweetest time of all! 

Warmest regards,

Pina Arcamone
Director General
