Psychoeducators
A psychoeducator is first and foremost a field person, present in the daily lives of students at school to promote their social integration and autonomy. To do this, psychoeducation can detect, evaluate, and support students who are experiencing adjustment difficulties that have a negative impact on their integration and learning at school.

Special Care Counsellors
The SCC works in collaboration with teachers and other professionals to intervene directly with students with disabilities or with learning difficulties, adjustment difficulties, or behavioural difficulties. Their role is important to help the student, but also to support the teacher in the execution of their various tasks or in maintaining a harmonious climate. For example, they are often called upon to develop, organize, and lead various educational activities to develop social, cognitive, psychomotor, communication, self-esteem, assertiveness, problem- and conflict-resolution skills, etc.
