As part of the 2021-2026 Government Action Plan for Caregivers , le CREGÉS was mandated by Quebec’s Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS) to develop a training program about caregivers, in partnership with the Formation continue partagée team of the Santé Québec Estrie – CHUS. The project is being led by the CREGÉS Domain of Expertise in Caregiving team and is under the scientific direction of Isabelle Van Pevenage, institutional researcher.
This training is available to anyone working with caregivers, including staff and managers in the health and social services network (e.g., home care, local community service centres, long-term care homes, etc.) through the provincial Digital Learning Environment (ENA). It is also available to individuals working outside the public network (e.g., private seniors’ residences, non-profit organizations, etc.) who have access to the FCP Partners platform.
The training consists of three phases. The first group of modules, which forms the core curriculum, has been available since June 2024. The second group of modules has been available since June 2026 on both digital learning platforms. The third and final phase, focusing on the characteristics of caregiving relationships as they relate to caregiver characteristics, will be released soon.
Entitled Diversité des situations de proche aidance : pour de meilleures pratiques – Partie 1, this new second set of modules centers around the characteristics of caregiving relationships according to the type of disability or impairment experienced by the care recipient, and on how professional interventions can be adapted to each particular situation.
After completing the introductory module of this set, learners can choose their learning pathway based on their practice area from among six options. These specialized modules present a variety of narrative clinical case studies that help learners explore the evolution of care trajectories and of caregiving experiences.
Bloc 2 : Diversité des situations de proche aidance : pour de meilleures pratiques – Partie 1
The second phase of the training focuses on the specific characteristics of caregiving relationships according to the type of disability or impairment experienced by the care recipient, and on how interventions can be adapted to meet these particular needs.
Following an introductory module, learners are invited to select a learning pathway based on their area of practice. Learning in these specialized sections is supported by narrative clinical case studies that help illustrate the evolution of clinical pathways and caregiving trajectories in these different contexts.
