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.
This contribution stems from doctoral research in social work to analyze the practice of social interveners closely involved with families finding themselves in vulnerable positions caused by complex situations. It participates in methodological discussions that bring together leading group sessions during collaborative research, symmetrization of research-practice relationships and development of the power to act of those in the field. Supported by conceptualization of the empowerment process, this secondary analysis of a methodological provision brings to light a discovery made while leading a group analyzing practice. To avoid falling into a traditional prescriptive relationship with respect to practice and to access the tacit knowledge of the interveners, the student-researcher introduced « absent voices. » In this provision, interveners were invited to assume the point of view of other actors concerned by the situation being analyzed in the group. We use one of the directed interviews to illustrate the use of « absent voices » to lead an analysis of practice group. As will be seen, by diversifying points of view this provision fosters awareness, and so the development of the power to act. While introducing « absent voices » into research interviews doesn’t transform the conditions of practice that contribute to lack of power among field interveners, it is reasonable to think that such a provision will engage a process that improves awareness and reduces unequal research-practice relationships.
