This article focuses on the use of dative guardianship for children under the care of Youth Protection services as well as on the introduction of suppletive guardianship as a possible permanency project for these children. The text is based on a study conducted in the Quebec City area that examined the placement trajectories of children subject of a guardianship measure between 2015 and 2018. The data collected allow us to better understand the contexts in which guardianship takes place in youth protection and to draw a portrait of the characteristics of the children involved. The authors also look at the suppletive guardianship mechanism, which was modified in June 2022, notably to make it available to the members of a child's foster family. Finally, the authors reflect on the use of guardianship in the context of youth protection.

This article examines the role of alternative learning environments (ALEs) in the learning pathways of young adults in Quebec. ALEs are institutions that welcome and educate students ages 16 and above who have interrupted their regular education pathways and are in a vulnerable situation. Our reflection is based on case studies in three ALEs, namely a street school, a private school and an organization that helps students go back to school. It is based on the strategies implemented by ALE professionals. The article highlights how certain proximal support practices accommodate students' non-linear pathways, distinguishing them from those of traditional institutions such as adult education centres.

Objectives Daytime sleepiness in adolescents has negative impacts on physical, cognitive, and emotional health, with direct or indirect consequences on their mental health. This review aims to describe specialized tools assessing daytime sleepiness in adolescents so that mental health professionals can screen for a variety of sleep disorders, from the rarest ones, such as narcolepsy, to the most common ones, such as sleep-wake cycle delay in adolescents.

This article examines the use of isolation, as a means of producing discipline, in a Montreal closed custody unit for young offenders. It shows that isolation, well beyond “isolation measures”, extends to a set of measures which, for legal reasons, are renamed “removal measures”. An analysis of these measures, as well as the attempts of the unit's management to control their use, suggests that this wordplay (and lawplay) is linked to a form of custodial paternalism which, in the name of a mandate to rehabilitate the youths, which tends to relegate concerns about their rights to the background.

This article shows the results of the analyses of explanation interviews with four expert primary school teachers in Montréal who have been asked how they planned the teaching of problem-solving situations. With Verschaffel et al. model (2000) and the devices of differentiated instruction of Tomlinson (1999), we describe planned adaptations, according to the needs of students. Results indicate that teachers consider the needs of students and the obstacles to problem-solving and that they adapt. But the abundant explanations when the students discover the situation seems to be harmful to students' autonomy.

In Quebec, the relationship between social work practice and the ecological crisis, as well as its impact on vulnerable populations, are avenues that are beginning to be explored in research. This article contributes to the development of this knowledge base by sharing the findings of an exploratory research project examining social work practitioners' understanding of the connections they make between their social work practice and ecological issues. Our analysis illustrates that participants recognize the relevance of their profession faced with the ecological crisis, but that their practice setting and the manner in which the environment and nature are conceptualized within the profession can be constraining factors for facilitating “greener” social work. This article is therefore part of a collective invitation to reflect upon the social work of today and tomorrow, in light of the need to integrate environmental concerns more meaningfully into professional practice.

In this article, we investigate Canadian federal correctional officers' (CO) experiences and concerns with their prison workspaces. By drawing upon carceral geography, and recognizing the existing relationship shared between architecture, design and the lived experience of space, we consider how prison light(ing), or lack thereof, impacts the workspaces and well-being of COs. This article draws upon data generated from interviews conducted with Canadian federal COs (n=60), derived from a larger longitudinal study (Ricciardelli et al., 2021). We first illustrate how (limited) access to natural light is often the consequence of safety and security concerns, before examining the impact of this access on the work experience, as well as the health and well-being of the CO. We then turn our attention to the provision of alternative or security-minded light(ing), which often renders prison spaces over-illuminated. Taken together, the article's focus reveals an inherent lighting problem. While natural light(ing) is in particular purportedly stringently managed in the prison setting, the very nature of light renders it highly uncontrollable. Such findings illuminate the problems associated with the prison lighting that circulates within spaces of incarceration, as well as the (un)intentional and latent consequences of prison conditions for care. We close with recommendations for improving CO and prisoner well-being in relation to lighting in prison spaces.

Inclusive education advocates for considering the diverse needs of all students in order to enable each individual to develop their full potential (Conseil supérieur de l'éducation [CSE], 2017). However, the areas of action for many contributors to its implementation, including that of the special educator (CSE, 2017), are more or less delimited. This situation results in variable practices from one environment to another, leading to inequities and difficulties in accessing services (Office des professions du Québec [OPQ], 2014; Prud'homme, 2018). This article presents the results of recent Quebec studies that focused on the roles and functions of special educators. Through a methodology inspired by the integrative review approach (Whittemore and Knafl, 2005), the synthesis of these studies aims to highlight the main challenges linked to the practice of special education in the context of inclusive education. The results shed light on various role tensions that impact the deployment of professional skills of special educators in a school setting. Research perspectives to prioritize in order to support this process are proposed for the next decade.

The health measures that were ordered during the COVID-19 pandemic have had considerable repercussions for the Quebec population, which has had to adapt to this exceptional situation. In many ways, the impacts of this crisis have been amplified for school-age children with disabilities. The health measures enacted by the Quebec government have profoundly changed the educational services they have received for more than two years. This article reports on the obstacles faced by these children in asserting their right to education, without discrimination, as documented by the Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse du Québec throughout the pandemic period. More importantly, they speak to the persistent systemic barriers that still hinder the adaptation of educational services for students with disabilities.
