The Community Social Pediatrics Institute

The Community Social Pediatrics Institute

The Community Social Pediatrics approach was created by pediatrician Gilles Julien in the 1990s, with the collaboration of numerous partners from the health and social services, school and community sectors. In the 2000s, lawyer-mediator Hélène (Sioui) Trudel enhanced this model by developing tools to promote access to justice and respect for all children’s rights as set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. To achieve this, the model relies on the genuine participation of children and their families, as well as on conflict prevention and resolution methods. Since then, this model of integrated social medicine has become increasingly popular with communities and professionals working with children experiencing difficulties. To pass on the knowledge acquired through shared experience and social innovation, the Fondation Dr Julien has created the Community Social Pediatrics Institute.

Our mission

The Community Social Pediatrics Institute helps 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. This model of integrated social medicine aims to care for, accompany and empower children in vulnerable situations, by preventing and countering the impact of toxic stresses on their overall health, through a collaborative and committed approach.
