NOTICE – The Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) was established on June 1, 2024, in accordance with the Act to amend the Act respecting the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation with respect to research. The Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT), the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) have since been regrouped into the new FRQ, which continues their existence. The rights and obligations of the FRQNT, FRQS and FRQSC have become those of the FRQ; activities continue as usual.

Please note that if you come across an old name or logo of one of the Fonds de recherche du Québec in the program rules or on the website, it should now read as follows:

  • The FRQNT becomes the Nature et technologies sector;
  • The FRQS becomes the Santé sector;
  • The FRQSC becomes the Société et culture sector.

Thank you for your understanding.

Published in: Elsevier – Children and Youth Services Review

Abstract

Julien Desautels takes an innovative look at the interventions available to teenagers and their families in a crisis situation. By delving into the intervention processes that take place during treatment, the study determines different clinical profiles of families and compares the interventions they receive as part of an intensive family program. The results show that the programs target families with different clinical profiles and thus underscore the importance of better tailoring the interventions based on the profiles of the teenagers and their families in order to improve the services available to them.
