Ph.D. in psychology, research and intervention option. My field of specialization is community psychology. As such, I have been interested in interventions aimed at social change to enhance people's well-being in their daily environment. My thesis examined the social representation held by women's movement groups in Québec.

In order to contribute to women's empowerment, I am now researching interventions to facilitate the exit process from prostitution. These interventions are rare; thus, the aim of this research is to contribute to their development.

I am particularly interested in mental health. I study the links between social norms and mental issues. I published the following work in 2009 that draws upon this topic:  État dépressif et temporalité: Contribution à la sociologie de la santé mentale (Éditions Liber). My research also focuses on the practice of sport. As such, the Montreal Canadians represent, for me, an incredible mirror of contemporary social demands. I co-edited the book  Le canadien de Montréal: Une légende repensée, (Presses de l’Université de Montréal) in 2011. It investigates the social impact of this great hockey team. I also study  how sport can constitute a tool for psychosocial development, as a part of innovative intervention practices for troubled youth.
