The Kaléidoscope workshops offered to students at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières are designed to develop mentalization skills in support of psychological well-being. They are part of an experiential and educational approach that promotes the integration of this social-emotional skill into daily life.
The Kaléidoscope workshops, developed in partnership with a research project, make it possible to evaluate their impact, ensure their long-term viability, and support their implementation in institutions of higher education. Institutions wishing to participate receive support that includes training in facilitating the workshops, tools, and a practical guide, as well as support meetings with trainers during the group pilot phase. This approach promotes the adoption of the content and the adaptation of practices within these settings.
These workshops were presented as part of the Journées de transfert de connaissances sur la santé mentale étudiante, organized by ISMÉ in March 2026.
