Characteristics of the intervention mode
Immigrants go through a significant loss of reference due to the migratory process. To find themselves in a new environment with different rules, new and often implicite codes, and an almost non-existent professional network, demand a different and specific type of assistance.
The originality in our intervention lies in the intercultural approach and the practices learned, which get materialized into a real capacity to understand the reference frame of the immigrant and then connect it to Quebec’s reference frame to ease mutual comprehension. Everyone gets an attentive, active and respectful listening and the recognition of their individual and migratory background. That allows our social workers to be able to build trust with the immigrants and also to help them go through the learning of the society.
