Description: This project is based on a quasi-experimental and mixed design to assess the effects of the Pour 3 Points humanist coach certification program (https://pour3points.ca/) in schools. For ten years, Pour 3 Points coaches have supported youth from disadvantaged backgrounds to promote positive development and equal opportunities. This research project in partnership will make it possible to verify to what extent this support affects school adaptation (school engagement, feeling of belonging to school), social (quality of relationships with peers, teachers, and parents. ), and psychological (mental health, self-esteem) of adolescents.
