 Psychoeducation: a presence that is growing « paso a paso » outside of Quebec 
This article presents some «steps» that psychoeducation has taken at different times in different countries. It retraces initiatives that have emerged outside Quebec since 1960. In the early years of psychoeducation, frequent exchanges took place with the Associations of Specialized Educators in Europe. During the period from 1990 to 2010, there was an interesting breakthrough in the psychoeducational intervention model in South and Central America. Student projects, research, training development and involvement in intervention circles in these southern countries characterized this period. In addition to the projects that are continuing in Latin America, there have been several initiatives in the last decade led by psychoeducators in Haiti, Gabon, Belgium, Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire. This short overview suggests that psychoeducators can, with a view to collaboration centered on the adaptive strengths of individuals and communities, act outside Quebec in order to improve assistance to people in vulnerable situations and to their communities. in underdeveloped or emerging countries in order to contribute to greater social justice in our world.
