The Université de Sherbrooke has set up the Promotion de la santé mentale en milieu professionnel course to equip graduate students to take care of their own mental health and that of their colleagues and the current and future student population. The aim of the course is to enable future university professors and researchers to become agents of change in the creation of a new culture of caring and well-being in the university environment.

A study was carried out to assess the perceived impact of this course, and the facilitating factors that contributed to this impact. Data was collected from 20 students, using a questionnaire and a focused discussion group.

This course and the results of its evaluation were presented as part of the Journées annuelles de transfert de connaissances sur la santé mentale étudiante, organized by ISMÉ in March 2024.

Speakers:

  • Julie Lane, associate professor at the Université de Sherbrooke, director of the RBC Centre d’expertise universitaire en santé mentale and co-director of the Observatoire sur la santé mentale étudiante en enseignement supérieur (OSMÉES).
  • Jacinthe Leduc, psychoeducator, college psychology professor, lecturer and practical teacher at the Université de Sherbrooke and project coordinator for the RBC Centre d’expertise universitaire en santé mentale.
  • Grégoire Lebel, clinical psychologist, supervisor and lecturer at the Université de Sherbrooke.
