The CSPI is helping to build a community of practice based on respect for all the fundamental rights set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It offers tools through training courses designed for anyone interested in integrating the principles and knowledge of Community Social Pediatrics into their professional or personal lives, in Quebec and elsewhere in the world.
The CSPI is an initiative of the Fondation Dr Julien.
The CSPI offers a continuing professional development program for professionals and practitioners in the health, social and legal sciences, whether or not they work in Community Social Pediatrics Centres (CSPCs).
University trainingThe CSPI offers a variety of clinical internships to educate and train students in the Community Social Pediatrics approach.
Community training (D-CODE workshops)This series of workshops offers tools to help children take their place as full-fledged citizens, and to help adults contribute to building a fairer, more equitable society.
The CSPI participates in the development, support and dissemination of research that adds value to Community Social Pediatrics (CSP). It carries out consulting mandates for CSPCs and the clinical management of the FDJ. Mobilized in the development of a movement of researchers and students committed to CSP, and with a research posture rooted in the values of the approach, The CSPI builds bridges between the university research community and the clinical teams of the CSPCs.
The community social pediatrics model can enrich your practice.
Community social pediatrics (CSP) integrates medicine, law and the social sciences. It identifies sources of stress that negatively impact the health and development of children in situations of vulnerability. Supported by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, it determines when the rights of the child are not being respected.
The CSP approach is based on a collaborative relationship with the child and adults involved in the their life, with the goal of maintaining the child on a trajectory of health and well-being
This involves:
You! CSP is for any professional in health, law, social sciences or education who is committed to helping children whose development is compromised by difficult living conditions. Because CSP integrates the perspectives and tools of different disciplines, it can help you make a real difference in the lives of these children.
The practice of CSP is attracting the attention of more and more communities and professionals working with children in vulnerable situations. In order to disseminate the knowledge it has acquired through shared experience and social innovation, the Fondation Dr Julien created the Community Social Pediatrics Institute. The Institute codifies practices and disseminates them through three types of training: Continuing Professional Development, University Training and Community Training. In this way, the Institute contributes to building a solid community of practice.
Individualized, interdisciplinary and intersectoral training approach
Innovative practice that is evidence-based and supported by ongoing research
Access to a dynamic and engaged community of practice
Recognition by a number of professional orders
CSP is a model of integrated social medicine developed by Dr. Gilles Julien. Through this interactive journey, you discover the main themes, clinical approach, service continuum, unique features, philosophy and values of CSP.
In order to ensure a child’s full health and well-being, professionals in social pediatrics rely on, among other things, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its global intervention strategy for ensuring all children can develop to their full potential.
