Abstract:
The number of people seeking out support via the Internet is steadily increasing. In response to this growing need, counselling services have become commonplace on the Internet. This study focuses upon Kooth, one such service that has specifically been created to support adolescents. In particular, the work examines the quality of the computer-mediated Therapeutic Alliance from the viewpoint of the young users. This is a naturalistic study which combines several mixed methods research designs to explore the online adolescentcounsellor Alliance. At the heart of the study, an explanatory mixed m

Abstract:
Despite a documented increase in the use of online counselling services by youth, little research has been conducted on how counsellors establish rapport in the absence of voice tone and conventional spoken language. As a result, no empirically validated guidelines exist for crisis counselling with youth online. Research shows that youth who access online services are often in extreme distress or suicidal. Youth’s increasing affinity for online communication, coupled with a lack of research in this area, necessitate an examination of how rapport is built online. The current study was a quali

Abstract:
Aboriginal youth are vastly over-represented in the Canadian street youth population. This increased risk of street involvement is one of the many social and health inequalities experienced by Aboriginal people in Canada, and reflects the legacy of colonization, intergenerational effects of residential schools, and contemporary inequities in social determinants of health. Given the challenging and often dangerous circumstances experienced by street youth, it is crucial that research address effective interventions, including counselling.

Sweden has a high rate of unintended pregnancies (UP) despite being a rather open society regarding sexual health education.

Abstract:
The Internet is becoming a more realistic means of accessing support, especially for those who are unable to or are uncomfortable with accessing supports in person. One population that experiences barriers to accessing face-to-face support is youth, and online counselling is an option available for youth to overcome these barriers (King, Bambling, Lloyd, et al., 2006). Online counselling can occur through e-mail and chat services; however, due to the text-based nature of these services, their effectiveness is criticized for having a lack of verbal and nonverbal communication (Cook & Doyle, 200

Le présent mémoire de maîtrise constitue une recherche qualitative qui porte sur le rôle des agents d’intervention œuvrant au sein des centres jeunesse, dans le processus de réadaptation des jeunes. Peu des études et chercheurs se sont consacrés au rôle des agents d’intervention. Pourtant ils travaillent quotidiennement auprès des jeunes placés en CJM-IU et collaborent avec les éducateurs. Les pages suivantes s’attardent au rôle de l’agent d’intervention ainsi qu’à la manière dont ce rôle est situé dans un contexte de centre de réadaptation comme le Centre jeunesse de Montréal – Institut unive

L’intervention psychosociale auprès des jeunes vivant en Centre jeunesse est régie par la Loi sur la protection de la jeunesse (LPJ). La posture professionnelle des intervenants s’inscrit à la fois dans une relation d’autorité, renforcée par le cadre institutionnel et les obligations légales, et dans une relation d’aide. Ce mémoire s’est attardé à ce double mandat (réadaptation sociale et relation d'aide) et à son impact sur le lien jeune-éducateur.
