Les Réfugiés, Politiques et Pratiques

Résumé

Cet article vise à rendre compte des dimensions socio-économiques et politiques influant sur le développement des services aux immigrants et aux réfugiés. Un bref regard sur les grands traits de la problématique de la santé mentale des réfugiés à travers la littérature débouchera sur une analyse de quel-ques-unes des politiques adoptées au cours des dernieres années par les gouvernements fédéral et provincial et de la question des rapports État/Organismes non gouvernementaux (ONG); il s'agit de montrer les significations, voire les contradictions, entre le discours sur la prise en charge et le partenariat et les différentes stratégies mises en place par l'État. Un examen des différents programmes de soutien aux organismes non gouvernementaux offerts par le gouvernement du Québec permettra ensuite de dégager les lignes de force des politiques de financement des ONG et de préciser les balises à l'intérieur desquelles ces derniers doivent s'orienter. Pour les fins de notre recherche, nous n'avions retenu que les programmes du ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux et du ministère des Communautés culturelles et de l'Immigration du Québec; à eux seuls, ces deux ministères octroient le plus grand nombre de subventions aux ONG qui interviennent avec les immigrants et les réfugiés.

Abstract

This paper investigates how socio-economic and political factors may influence the development of immigrant and refugee programs. A brief review of the literature concerning mental health issues for refugees is examined. It is followed by an analysis of federal and provincial government policies regarding relationships between government and non governmental organizations (NGOs). Significant features and contradictions are shown, pointing to discrepancies between empowerment and partnership philosophies and the actual development of state strategies. The different assistance programs offered by the Quebec government to non governmental organizations are studied in order to define the main guidelines for NGO financial assistance and the framework for their development. This study is limited to the Quebec ministries of Health and Social Services and Cultural Communities and Immigration. These two ministries offer most of the financial assistance programs to NGOs dealing with immigrants and refugees.
