The school team is composed of social workers, clinical nurses, dental hygienists, and pivot agents who work with school-aged youth up to 21 years old and their families.
This team adopts the school and healthy environment approach and works directly in certain public primary and secondary schools in the CIUSSS Centre-Ouest territory.
The interventions aim to promote physical and mental health and prevent health problems to support the development, well-being, and educational success of young people.
Prevention activities are organized in collaboration with the school environment on various themes related to health and sexuality, dental hygiene, vaccination, group life, and emotion management.
Additionally, the practitioners have a liaison role by evaluating, guiding, and offering short follow-ups for various biopsychosocial issues such as:
- psychological distress and suicidal ideation
- school absenteeism
- neglect and/or lack of resources
- various addictions
- behavioral problems
- bullying
- conflictual peer or family relationships
- domestic violence or unhealthy romantic relationships
- etc.
School vaccination is also offered according to the recommendations of the 
Quebec Immunization Protocol.

- Advice and prescription of contraception, including emergency contraception (Plan B)
