La création du Centre d' interventions en musicothérapie.

This paper describes the process of inauguration of the first Centre d'interventions en musicothérapie (CIM) (centre for music therapy interventions), in Québec. It discusses the main steps of its creation, the reasons motivating its development and the different stages experienced for the birth of this site. How did the project emerges And, why the need to create such an establishment? The CIM offers services to different populations in various settings, according to requests. It allows music therapists to work within a team, to enrich their practice in a favourable atmosphere in order to complete their internship or to see their clients evolve. The opening of the space in September 2007 is the realization of a dream: to receive populations with specific needs in comfortable and adapted settings, including upholding and respecting the standards of the Code of Ethics of the Canadian Association for Music Therapy (CAMT).
