 Training of psychoeducators in Quebec: A look at the past and the future 
Psychoeducators constitute a group of more than 5,000 Quebec professionals who work with people having adjustment difficulties which manifest themselves on the behavioral level in their different living environments. Their expertise is based in particular on initial undergraduate and graduate university programs. With a retrospective and prospective approach, this article first traces psychoeducational training over the past sixty years, beginning with its origins in boarding schools for youth in difficulty to the development of doctoral programs in psychoeducation. The creation of the professional Order in 2000 is then presented as an important milestone in this history. With it came the management of programs allowing access to the license to practice the profession. Finally, we look at the challenges that this training will face over the next decade.
