Thank you, Mr. Gros‑Louis.
Thank you for the question, Ms. Bérubé.
Actually, what's special about our students at Kiuna College is they have a plan for their education and are able to envision a better future for themselves. Various sources of motivation are put forward, and the question of children and future generations often comes up at graduation time in each student's short testimonial. They refer quite a lot to the idea of passing on the desire to be educated and have a better future.
On the other hand, our students often tell us that when they try to study at non-indigenous CEGEPs, it often turns out to be a disaster in terms of the adaptation and supervision they receive. When they come to our institution, they have access to a neuropsychologist, and that's quite unique. No other CEGEP in Quebec gives students access to that type of professional service. They can also see a psychotherapist who uses a long-term approach to psychodynamic therapy and may even offer to see them more than once a week for six months.
In addition, our environment leads to resilience through relationships with faculty and staff, as well as cultural life and educational consultants. All of this creates fertile ground for self-realization and solidifying a sense of personal identity through services that are culturally responsive and considerate of students' needs.
Lastly, I also want to emphasize our cultural work through physical activity and visits to the territories—our young and not so young people from remote communities often haven't experienced these things.
