The psychoeducators that I had the opportunity to work with were role models for me. They were the people who had the keys and who locked the doors, but that it is only part of their work. They bent over backwards to help young people and they went so far as to putting in extra hours. They have all kind of activities and programs that are individually suited to each youth. They completed specialized studies for doing that work. They identify what a youth requires. They channelled my energies and identified my potential so that I would exploit this to the maximum. They acted differently with youth who had different abilities and different potential. They don't work in the same ways with each person. They adapt their work methods to the youth in question.
I made such strong bonds with these people that we are still in touch today. This is how I had that interview with the CBC. We worked hard, and it is a source of pride for myself and for them. These people believed in young people, they believe in rehabilitation and reintegration or they wouldn't do that work.
