Youth Expertise

Understanding young people's reality through front-line experience

To better support young people, we must first listen to them and understand the issues that affect them. Through data collected from our intervention centre, insights from our Youth Advisory Committee, and ongoing scientific monitoring, we stay closely connected to their real needs and experiences. Explore our expertise on adolescence and youth realities.

Youth voices: our youth advisory committee

Made up of 12 young people aged 14 to 18, our Youth Advisory Committee ensures that youth perspectives remain at the heart of our decisions. The committee helps us ensure that our services and content reflect the realities and needs of young people across Quebec. By consulting them regularly, we make sure we're not acting for youth, but alongside them.
