Splendeurs Et Misères De La Concertation Locale En Santé Mentale: Un Regard Du Terrain

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
September 1999

Résumé

La concertation est une pratique hautement valorisée par l'État pour des raisons è la fois idéologiques et éconorniques. Mais si la concertation administrative est relativement aisée è entreprendre, qu'en est-il au niveau du terrain? Quels sont les ingrédients qui favorisent une réelle concertation entre les intervenants et intervenantes et quelles sont les difficultés rencontrées au plan des pratiques quotidiennes? À partir de l'expérience acquise dans l'ouest de l'ile de Montréal, nous avons constaté que plusieurs enjeux méritent d'ètre compris et approfondis: la difficulté de concilier traitement et empowerment des clientèles, la difficulté de dégager des valeurs et convictions communes entre les milieux institutionnels et communautaires, la tendance è accaparer les clients et clientes dans les milieux cliniques. Malgré ces difficultés, il est évident que les pratiques évoluent vers une plus grande concertation sur le terrain dans un contexte où les clientèles sont croissantes et les problématiques se complexifient.

Abstract

Collaboration among public and community ressources (or concertation as it is referred to in French) is a practice much favoured by governments for ideological and economic reasons. But if administrative collaboration is relatively easy to set up, what about collaboration among front-line field workers? What are the ingredients likely to engender true collaboration among practitioners, and what obstacles do they meet with on a practical day-to-day level? Experience acquired in the West Island area of greater Montreal has led us to the conclusion that many issues need to be examined and understood: the difficulty of reconciling client empowerment with treatment; the difficulty of harmonizing the values and convictions prevailing in institutional and community-based networks; the tendency for practitioners to keep clienteles for themselves within a treatment environment. Despite these difficulties, it is evident that there will be a trend towards increasing collaboration where clienteles are growing and where problems are becoming more complex.
