This project, which is based on a qualitative methodology, aimed to study the points of view of students and school staff regarding the role of social support in relation to the psychological well-being of students with an immigrant background.

This project, carried out with 1,000 high school students, aimed to document the psychological well-being of students with an immigrant background and to identify protective factors (social support and coping strategies).

This project is based on a mixed methodology and was carried out in eight schools located in Montreal and its surroundings, as well as in Quebec City and Trois-Rivières. A total of 108 individual and group interviews were conducted with management teams, teachers, parents, non-teaching staff, students, and representatives of community organizations. Some 1,500 students also completed a questionnaire on their perception of the intercultural climate in their school.
