I think the pandemic will have brought about some practical transformations. For example, in a place like the one where Ms. Montminy works, it is very important to offer certain services online, not just now, but also when the pandemic is over. These services may benefit people who can't travel, people who have a disability, or people for whom it is hard to get to a group meeting.
I think we will have to closely monitor the way the services are transformed and reorganized during the pandemic and especially afterward, to see what type of therapy is effective, for one thing.
For example, at our research centre, a researcher who specializes in psychology offers online therapy for people who have been traumatized, for victims of sexual or spousal violence. Her preliminary research has produced very encouraging results in terms of the effectiveness of the treatment.
These are new ways of working that we can explore further, that might even be used for helping young people, who are much more focused than us on technology. Online services could therefore be an avenue for the future.
