In the field of forensic psychology, assessing the risk for violence is a core component of treatment planning and intervention monitoring. However, practitioners from the violent extremism (VE) field currently lack guidance on which tools to use when addressing the risk of VE in individuals with mental disorders. This study details challenges associated with risk assessment in a specialized clinic providing services for individuals with mental disorders referred because of concerns about VE, describes an approach to risk assessment for these individuals, and examines its perceived utility for clinicians. A mixed-method concurrent triangulation design was used to combine available quantitative data on the risk assessment of individuals referred to the Montreal Polarization team, obtained through a file review (n = 53), with qualitative data collected through clinical ethnography and a focus group with practitioners who use the Short-Term Assessment of Risk and Treatability and Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol–18 tools. Results suggest that risk assessment for patients attracted to VE is complex. Clinicians often combine structured instruments for persons with mental disorders with those for individuals on VE trajectories because they address different dimensions of risk. Disagreement in the level of risk seemed to reflect biases related to the therapeutic alliance and to societal prejudices, and may indicate the need for continuous monitoring. Structured clinical judgment approach tools, while perceived as useful in the VE field, may benefit from better integration with more traditional tools developed for forensic and mental health populations. The limits of cross-sectional data in risk assessment tool validation call for more prospective and longitudinal research in the field. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

1. Introduction

Upwards of 500,000 pediatric patients visit emergency rooms (ER) annually for psychiatric crises (1), with rates recently increasing (2, 3), necessitating an examination of ER treatment approaches, including triage and crisis interventions. Nurses and pediatricians without specialized psychiatric training often apply a triage approach to such youth’s care (4–8), rapidly admitting or discharging them depending on risks of auto- or hetero-aggression. Alternatively, a crisis intervention model emphasizes diagnosis, immediate treatment and orientation to either inpatient and/or outpatient resources on discharge (9–19). This approach is often multimodal (18), including nurses and social workers experienced in pediatric mental health, thus requiring additional resources compared to triage approaches. The triage (4–8) and crisis intervention (9–16) models have mostly been considered in isolation. When considered in tandem (17–20), there is little elaboration on treatment variables (e.g., alliance, the patient and physician’s emotional responses and time limitations). This article compares the two models and the interplay of these variables with respect to each. A composite case highlights the differences.

Cadre de la recherche : Comme la migration, particulièrement lorsque forcée peut affecter psychologiquement les enfants, la consultation en santé mentale jeunesse (SMJ) peut faire partie du parcours des familles migrantes. Alors que de rares articles décrivent cette expérience pour les familles et les jeunes (école secondaire), celle des enfants (école primaire) reste encore moins explorée.

Objectif : Cet article se penche sur les données d’entretiens intégrant jeux et dessins menés auprès de 20 enfants de 15 familles migrantes ayant consulté en SMJ (dont certaines réfugiées, demandeuses d’asile ou sans statut). L’objectif est d’explorer l’expérience des enfants en intégrant une méthode d’analyse innovatrice basée sur l’art.

Méthodologie : Nous proposons une méthode herméneutique combinant la psychiatrie transculturelle, la psychologie humaniste et l’interprétation des données par la création littéraire. En cohérence avec ces ancrages, les données d’entretien sont présentées de manière narrative sous la forme d’exemples. L’interprétation des données inclut la création d’un texte littéraire intitulé Jungle et religion.

Résultats : L’interprétation fait ressortir trois volets de l’expérience des enfants : 1) l’expérience migratoire et la fragilité qu’elle implique, 2) le recours à l’art et au jeu comme moyens d’apprivoisement du trauma, et 3) l’idéalisation de l’intervention.

Conclusion : L’expérience comprise des enfants met en lumière à la fois la confusion/peur induite par la migration et la place compensatrice que l’intervention peut prendre, et qui crée la possibilité de vivre des espoirs déçus, mais aussi celle de reconstruire le monde pour l’enfant.

Contribution : L’interprétation des résultats basée sur l’art et la création littéraire a permis de traduire l’expérience des enfants plus justement et de mieux la représenter en langage écrit, alors qu’elle nous a principalement été transmise par les enfants en paroles, en jeux et en images.

Pour traiter efficacement et exhaustivement des inégalités dans le monde, il convient d’en aborder toutes les facettes. Il est nécessaire d’étudier les inégalités de richesse entres États d’une part, et au sein même de ces États d’autre part. Il faut également s’intéresser à la pauvreté de certaines populations ou groupes de population, mais aussi à la richesse et à la très grande richesse d’autres groupes de population. C’est aussi dresser un panorama des autres types d’inégalités, hommes –  femmes, entre générations, etc. et analyser si celles-ci sont en croissance ou en décroissance. Et enfin il s’agit de faire un tour d’horizon de l’Asie, de l’Amérique latine (continent le plus inégalitaire au monde), de l’Afrique et de l’Europe qui demeure un continent relativement égalitaire en comparaison.

Adolescents and young adults (10–24 years old) represent a substantial proportion of the world’s population and the majority live in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Significant global attention has been given to improve Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) of adolescents and young adults, however, despite progress, the gains have been inequitable across countries largely due to harmful social norms, toxic gender stereotypes, and acute power imbalances in many LMICs, especially for females. In LMICs, poor infrastructure, poverty, and high levels of gender-based violence, have significantly impeded women and adolescent girls’ access to SRH services. Moreover, a large number of adolescents and young adults, especially those living in conflict and temporary settlement centers, are at high risk of sexual violence, genital cutting, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and maternal death. In our Research Topic for Frontiers of Public Health, our objective was to contribute to the advancement of SRHR among adolescents and young adults living in LMICs. As such, we solicited articles that addressed one or more of the following topics: child marriage, contraception, unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortion, STI/HIV/AIDS including HPV vaccine coverages, gender-based violence, sex trafficking, and exploitation, poor menstrual hygiene practices, menstrual problems, and other gynecological illnesses, SRHR of adolescents in refugee settlements, adolescent-friendly health services, adolescent SRH policies, and governance.

Within this Research Topic, a number of manuscripts were published. Two focused on adolescents in Bangladesh and analyzed data from a recent national adolescent health and wellbeing survey; the first article, entitled “Factors that provide protection against intimate partner physical violence among married adolescents in Bangladesh,” found that 16% of married adolescent girls experienced intimate partners physical violence (IPPV) (Rahman et al.). Results showed that IPPV risk was lower when living with parents-in-law or parents and when girls were married to men aged 21 or older; IPPV risk was higher among girls with a longer duration of marriage and no living children. The second article, entitled “What shapes attitudes on gender roles among adolescents in Bangladesh,” showed that among unmarried adolescents, girls were significantly more likely compared to boys to hold egalitarian views regarding gender roles (58 vs. 19%) (Streatfield et al.). Egalitarian views were significantly higher among both girls and boys if they were members of social organizations, participated in adolescent programs and had completed at least grade 10. Taken together the two papers highlight the importance of education, policy (minimum age for marriage), and the implementation of community level interventions toward advancing gender-equity and protecting young women from IPPV, and its associated adverse health outcomes, in Bangladesh.

The topic of contraception and family planning, important for the prevention of pregnancy and averting the health and social consequences that are associated with unwanted pregnancy, were addressed in two papers. The article “Social-psychological determinants of hormonal contraceptive use intentions among adolescent girls in the Bono East Region of Ghana,” highlights how positive attitudes regarding hormonal contraceptives, and self-efficacy to access and use hormonal contraceptives, are positively correlated with hormonal contraceptive use intention, thus underscoring the importance of comprehensive sex education, including enhancing adolescents’ skills and sense of competence to access and use contraceptives (Boamah-Kaali et al.). Similar conclusions were also drawn in the paper: “What are the sources of contraceptives for married and unmarried adolescents: Health services or friends? Analysis of 59 low- and middle-income countries” (Hellwig and Barros). Using national health survey data from 59 LMICs, it was shown that in almost half of the countries, the use of modern contraceptives is lower among sexually active adolescents when compared to sexually active adult women. Results also showed, that in a number of countries, adolescents are less likely to access contraceptives in the public sector, especially unmarried girls. In all regions, unmarried girls, compared to their married counterparts, were more likely to access contraceptives from friends and family. Another article, which addressed the use of reproductive more broadly, further underscored the importance of sex education, and also the necessity for services to be easily accessible; in “Reproductive health service use and associated factors among youths in Becho district, southwest Ethiopia,” the researchers found that the use of reproductive health services was relatively low (44% utilized services) among youth and that knowledge of services, discussions with parents about reproductive health, as well as close proximity of a health facility, were key predictors of reproductive health service use (Waga et al.).

Lastly, implementation and sustainability of sexual and reproductive health services, was a topic in two papers. The article: “Planning, implementation, and sustaining high coverage of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination programs: What works in the context of low-resource countries?,” provides a comprehensive overview of challenges and facilitators to HPV vaccination program implementation in LMICs (Waheed et al.). Results showed that data availability, management and reporting and supply chain difficulties are significant issues, while involvement of multi-sectoral key stakeholders, careful planning and coordination, and communication and training at all levels (district administrators, healthcare staff, teachers, and support personnel), are vital toward ensuring successful and sustained implementation of HPV programs. In their paper, entitled: “Accelerated institutionalization of an adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) intervention in Tanzania: Findings from a mixed-methods evaluation,” the authors describe the institutionalization and scale-up of a contraceptive-delivery intervention into government healthcare institutions across Tanzania; the intervention, which includes in-clinic care and a community-outreach component, aims to educate, but also to empower girls by focusing on life planning and skills acquisition (Cutherell et al.). Commitment and early, active involvement of key stakeholders, including government officials and healthcare providers, and ongoing engagement and training, were also identified in this study as important facilitating factors for successful implementation of the intervention. Integrating the intervention within existing structures, was also shown to facilitate the institutionalization process.

In sum, the research reported in this Research Topic highlights the critical role that governments in LMICs must play to ensure SRH services are available, easily accessible and responsive to the needs of adolescents and youth; these services should provide education, enhance self-efficacy and improve skills with regards to accessing and using services and care, but also equally important, is the empowerment of girls. Policies are also crucial; they should promote young people to study longer and to delay marriage until a later age. The studies also emphasize the importance of comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) within school to improve knowledge, but also to eventually shift cultural and social norms that contribute to poor SRH outcomes, especially for girls and young women. Overall, the authors conclude that more evidence and continued work by researchers, care-providers and policy makers, are still needed to improve gender equality and the SRH of adolescents and youth in LMICs. The work reported in this Research Topic offers a point of departure for those looking to contribute and advance the SRH field. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the authors, reviewers and editors of Frontiers in Public Health, for their contributions to this Research Topic.

Abstract

Background:Based on experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic, postsecondary institutions were most affected by the restrictions. Students, especially international students, have borne the brunt associated with in-person learning restrictions imposed by public health recommendations. Canada is among the top 3 countries hosting international students (ISs), including Francophone students in provinces such as Quebec and other anglophone regions. Academic restrictions were accompanied by other measures such as quarantine, self-isolation, social distancing, and travel ban, to cite some. This has had a wide-ranging impact on these ISs. The resulting psychological distress and burden may have a much greater impact on Francophone ISs in anglophone settings, many of whom had ordinarily limited access to active offers of care in French in addition to cultural barriers and low literacy of the health care system. In order to take advantage of the effectiveness of eHealth as a pertinent and promising avenue, our project intends to build a web-based application that is cost-effective, user-friendly, anonymous, and capable to prompt interactive interventions as a first-line resource for psychological distress. In fact, internet applications have been increasingly used for the management of psychological distresses, and internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the preferred methods to prevent or control them.

Objective:The aims of this study are to (1) design, implement, and maintain Psy-Web for the psychological support of ISs and (2) analyze the results of the implementation of the Psy-Web platform, the additional resources solicited, and the results obtained.

Methods:This interventional project will use a sequential mixed design in the exploratory phase (phase 1) including the construction of the Psy-Web platform. A quantitative prospective component (phase 2) will include the intervention content of the Psy-Web platform. In total, 105 ISs participants (study group) and 52 ISs (control group), based on a ratio of 1:2, will be considered. The control group participants include those who did not use the web platform.

Results:The project is at the data collection stage (phase 1). Psy-Web will be built in accordance with the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) model with the perspective of boosting its robustness. As a first-line resource to prevent psychological distress and ultimately improve their academic performance, Psy-Web is an innovative opportunity for high education managers. The project involves a multisectoral and a multidisciplinary partnership.

Conclusions:The project will develop a promising web-based solution to prevent psychological distress. Ultimately, Psy-Web will be operable in multiple languages including French.

Migrants commonly maintain transnational ties with their home country including identities, attachments, and
social, cultural, economic and service/care interactions. Significant gaps remain regarding care-providers’ perspectives on migrants’ transnational ties and whether and how these ties are addressed in the context of care. La
Maison Bleue (LMB) is a community-based social perinatal care service with four sites in Montreal, Canada,
providing health and social care to families in vulnerable contexts from pregnancy up until age five. We conducted a small, qualitative descriptive study and interviewed 7 care-providers (nursing, social work, family
medicine, psycho-education) and 3 administrators/support personnel from LMB to gather data on their experiences and perspectives on “transnationalism” in care with vulnerable-status migrant women and their families.
Transnational identity (language, culture, attachment to the home country), and ongoing connections with back
home, including communication with children and extended family, remittent sending, and the receipt of childrearing and health advice, commonly arise within care interactions. Fostering transnational relationships and
cultural identity are strategies used by LMB care-providers to strengthen migrant families’ sense of belonging and
to help them cope with losses, while addressing transnational tensions and stresses are used to promote families’
well-being and integration. This involves a combination of listening, humility, remaining open, providing information and delivering care that is respectful of culture and sensitive to families’ situations. Cultural negotiation, directly with migrant families or via local peers, is sometimes used to overcome transnational cultural
barriers related to health decisions and child-rearing. At times, care-providers also engage directly with family
back home to mediate cross-border stresses and cultural tensions and/or to draw on them as a source of information and support. Care-providers view transnational cultural ties and relationships as both positive and
negative for the well-being of families and with respect to its impact on interventions with families. Although not
always feasible, care-providers believe it’s important to know about families’ transnational contexts, in order to
provide responsive, supportive care.

Abstract

Résumé de l’article Au Québec, des centres d’aide à l’emploi offrent des programmes d’intégration sociale et professionnelle (ISP) des personnes réfugiées ou demandeuses d’asile, qui arrivent avec un parcours souvent sinueux, parfois ponctué d’expériences traumatisantes. Ce parcours peut complexifier leur ISP dans leur société d’accueil et les exposer à des situations de vulnérabilité sociale. Nous cherchons à comprendre comment le parcours d’apprentissage au cours d’un programme d’ISP en groupe permet d’ouvrir l’éventail des opportunités réelles et favorise la justice sociale du point de vue opérationnel de l’approche par les capabilités. L’analyse qualitative processuelle des parcours d’apprentissage de ces personnes articule les ressources que rend disponible le programme en vue d’élargir leurs opportunités réelles d’ISP. Sont également analysées, les entraves à la conversion des ressources transmises en instruments pour l’apprentissage.

Abstract

In 2012, the Nigerian-American writer and artist Teju Cole called out the culture of white saviourism in the USA and introduced the concept of the White Saviour Industrial Complex (WSIC). The make-up of global health education perpetuates and feeds into the WSIC, with universities in high-income countries (HICs) accounting for a major share of global health programmes. Global health education is in certain respects a growth industry of whiteness that promotes justice only on paper and remains rooted in harmful colonial worldviews. Cole noted that the WSIC is “not about justice”, rather “it is about a big emotional experience that validates privilege”. This reflection applies to how global health is taught, including by us as educators based in Canada, irrespective of our roots and citizenship in Sri Lanka, Rwanda, Mexico, and India. Those who work in global health in HICs benefit from an imbalance of power that maintains the white supremacist status quo, and consequently an entrenched divide in global health. As global health educators we are then compelled to ask: are we training students to be “white saviours”, irrespective of their ethnicity or country of origin, and how can global health education be reconfigured?

ABSTRACT

In recent years, Canada has moved towards a system of ‘two-step’ immigration, wherein a growing proportion of new permanent residents are selected from people who are already in the country on a temporary work permit. While the ‘two-step’ selection approach has been lauded as improving immigrants’ labour market outcomes, the process to achieve permanent residence can be complex and the stringent selection criteria prevent many migrants from attaining permanent status. In this paper, we examine the administrative burden that migrants with precarious status encounter in their interactions with state immigration bureaucracies as they try to attain permanent residence through economic programmes. The research is based on a qualitative analysis of interviews with 20 migrants with precarious status in the provinces of Ontario, Alberta and Quebec. Participants describe the stressful life consequences resulting from confusing and opaque administrative processes, unpredictable wait times, costly application fees, bureaucratic errors and a lack of accountability. We theorise how such experiences of administrative burden can compound into forms of bureaucratic violence that prolong migrant precarity, exacerbating the legal violence inherent in state immigration categories which deny full social rights to migrants without permanent residence.

Résumé

Introduction : Les populations autochtones au Canada sont disproportionnellement touchées par le virus de l’hépatite C (VHC). L’intégration des cultures et savoirs autochtones aux interventions de santé est fragmentée et la pratique infirmière présente des lacunes à cet égard.

Objectifs : Cette revue narrative des écrits visait à analyser les interventions communautaires de lutte au VHC réalisées auprès de populations autochtones afin de proposer des recommandations pour renforcer la pratique infirmière en matière de VHC et la rendre plus cohérente aux besoins et valeurs des communautés autochtones.

Méthodes : Des méthodes d’examen rapide ont été adoptées. Les bases de données CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE et Cochrane et le moteur de recherche Google ont été consultés. Le modèle de réceptivité communautaire de Stanley et al., (2014), qui favorise le développement d’interventions appropriées selon les forces, la problématique et le contexte, a guidé l’analyse.

Résultats : Au total, 24 sources ont servi à analyser 13 projets d’intervention. Des similarités sont ressorties dans 11/13 projets d’intervention adoptant une approche holistique (n=11) et/ou une approche de réduction des méfaits (n=7), ce qui comprend une relation de confiance, sans jugement et non stigmatisante. La mobilisation communautaire était inhérente aux 13 projets d’intervention et c’est par une approche axée sur l’autodétermination que les infirmières étaient les plus susceptibles d’inciter cette mobilisation nécessaire à l’intervention en matière de VHC.

Discussion et conclusion : Avec une approche holistique de la réduction des méfaits, l’infirmière pourrait davantage soutenir l’autodétermination et la mobilisation communautaire afin de réduire efficacement le fardeau du VHC vécu par les communautés autochtones.

Abstract

Background:Adolescence is a critical period for reinforcing healthy dietary behaviors and supporting the development of cooking skills. Social media may be an avenue for supporting these behaviors, as it is popular among adolescents and can improve access to nutrition education interventions. This study sought to understand the optimal implementation of effective social media–based nutrition education interventions to inform the implementation of future social media–based nutrition education interventions.

Objective:A scoping review of the characteristics, feasibility, effectiveness, and factors influencing social media–based nutrition education interventions for adolescents was conducted.

Methods:We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases using a predefined search strategy. Primary research articles were independently screened and included if they involved adolescent populations (10-18 years old) and delivered nutrition education through social media. The information on intervention characteristics, feasibility, effectiveness, and factors influencing social media–based nutrition education interventions was extracted.

Results:A total of 28 publications out of 20,557 met the eligibility criteria. Twenty-five nutrition interventions were examined by 28 studies. Fourteen interventions used homegrown social media platforms, 8 used Facebook, and 2 used Instagram. Feasibility outcomes were infrequently reported, and the cost of intervention delivery was not reported. Engagement with interventions was variable; high engagement was not required to elicit significant improvements in dietary behaviors. Tailoring interventions, offering practical content, meaningful peer support, and involving families and communities facilitated successful interventions. Strategies to address engagement and technical issues were varied.

Conclusions:Emerging evidence demonstrates that social media interventions for adolescent nutrition are acceptable and improve nutrition outcomes. Future interventions should strengthen peer support components and tailor delivery to specific populations. Further research should examine engagement, adherence, and the impact of interventions on behavioral and physical outcomes. This review is the first to examine the use of social media as the primary medium for nutrition education for adolescent populations. The analysis used in this review argues the importance of peer support in social media–based nutrition interventions and the need for user-centered design of the interventions.

Background

Climate change (CC) adaptation is considered a priority for Caribbean Small Islands Developing States (SIDS), as these territories and communities are considered particularly vulnerable to climate-related events. The primary health care (PHC) system is an important actor in contributing to climate change adaptation. However, knowledge on how PHC is prepared for CC in Caribbean SIDS is very limited. The objective of this paper is to discuss health adaptation to climate change focusing on the PHC system.

Methods

We explored the perspectives of PHC professionals in Dominica on climate change. Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted in each of the seven health districts in Dominica, a Caribbean SIDS, between November 2021 and January 2022. The semi-structured interview guide was based on the Essential Public Health Functions: assessment, access to health care services, policy development and resource allocation. Data coding was organized accordingly.

Results

Findings suggest that health care providers perceive climate change as contributing to an increase in NCDs and mental health problems. Climate-related events create barriers to care and exacerbate the chronic deficiencies within the health system, especially in the absence of high-level policy support. Healthcare providers need to take a holistic view of health and act accordingly in terms of disease prevention and health promotion, epidemiological surveillance, and ensuring the widest possible access to health care, with a particular focus on the ecological and social determinants of vulnerability.

Conclusion

The Primary Health Care system should be a key actor in designing and operationalizing adaptation and transformative resilience. The Essential Public Health Functions should integrate social and climate and ecological determinants of health to guide primary care activities to protect the health of communities. This indicates a need for improved research on the linkages between climate events and health outcomes, surveillance, and development of plans that are guided by contextual knowledge in the SIDS.

Résumé

Immigrant and refugee populations face multiple barriers to accessing mental health services. This scoping review applies the (Levesque et al. in Int J Equity Health 12:18, 2013) Patient-Centred Access to Healthcare model in exploring the potential of increased access through virtual mental healthcare services VMHS for these populations by examining the affordability, availability/accommodation, and appropriateness and acceptability of virtual mental health interventions and assessments. A search in CINAHL, MEDLINE, PSYCINFO, EMBASE, SOCINDEX and SCOPUS following (Arksey and O’Malley in Int J Soc Res Methodol 8:19–32, 2005) guidelines found 44 papers and 41 unique interventions/assessment tools. Accessibility depended on individual (e.g., literacy), program (e.g., computer required) and contextual/social factors (e.g., housing characteristics, internet bandwidth). Participation often required financial and technical support, raising important questions about the generalizability and sustainability of VMHS’ accessibility for immigrant and refugee populations. Given limitations in current research (i.e., frequent exclusion of patients with severe mental health issues; limited examination of cultural dimensions; de facto exclusion of those without access to technology), further research appears warranted.

Le mandat

Le deuxième mandat de l’équipe de recherche indépendante découle directement des conclusions et des recommandations du premier mandat complété en 2019. Ce deuxième mandat a visé à « avoir une meilleure compréhension des interpellations afin de mieux définir leur usage et mieux prévenir les interpellations aléatoires »; à « comprendre les motivations des policiers dans le cadre des interpellations; à « évaluer l’impact de la politique sur les interpellations; à « déterminer si les interpellations sont réalisées conformément aux prescriptions de la politique »; à « évaluer la capacité [des nouveaux outils servant] à contextualiser l’interpellation policière ». Outre les nombreuses analyses statistiques à déployer, le Plan d’action soumis et approuvé par la direction du SPVM prévoyait un important volet qualitatif du mandat visant à « aborder les questions du contexte organisationnel qui sont à l’origine du mandat même et dont les policières et policiers qui seront sollicités seront évidemment conscients : l’observation de disparités ethnoculturelles dans les statistiques de l’interpellation ».

Background

Refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants without status experience precarious living and working conditions that disproportionately expose them to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In the two most populous Canadian provinces (Quebec and Ontario), to reduce the vulnerability factors experienced by the most marginalized migrants, the public and community sectors engage in joint coordination efforts called intersectoral collaboration. This collaboration ensures holistic care provisioning, inclusive of psychosocial support, assistance to address food security, and educational and employment assistance. This research project explores how community and public sectors collaborated on intersectoral initiatives during the COVID-19 pandemic to support refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants without status in the cities of Montreal, Sherbrooke, and Toronto, and generates lessons for a sustainable response to the heterogeneous needs of these migrants.

En prenant appui sur la mission de l’école québécoise qui consiste à instruire, socialiser et qualifier, le projet PhiloJeunes, implanté au Québec depuis 2015, œuvre au renforcement des facteurs de protection face à la radicalisation violente par la voie de l’implantation d’une pratique philosophique en classe. Le présent article se fonde sur une étude qualitative menée auprès de pédagogues engagés dans ce projet éducatif, afin d’explorer leur expérience lors de la formation et de l’application dudit projet. L’analyse met en lumière les défis et les leviers rencontrés par les pédagogues, notamment en regard d’une certaine prescription/proscription normative quant à l’expression et à la circulation des émotions. L’inévitable imbrication entre la sphère rationnelle et la sphère émotionnelle amène les autrices à soutenir, dans la veine de l’héritage de John Dewey, un dépassement de cette désuète opposition, afin d’embrasser une éducation démocratique sensible qui puisse favoriser la réalisation des objectifs de prévention de la radicalisation violente par la voie de la discussion philosophique en contexte scolaire.
