La détresse psychologique et le suicide chez les agriculteurs s'imposent comme un problème social préoccupant, notamment sous l'angle du genre masculin. Cette étude vise à mieux comprendre les connexions entre cette problématique et les pratiques masculines. Elle repose sur des entretiens qualitatifs avec 32 agriculteurs québécois. Les résultats identifient les principales sources et manifestations de stress, de même que les facteurs de protection. L'analyse fait ressortir les pratiques masculines qui peuvent agir de levier pour promouvoir la santé et le bien-être des agriculteurs et de leur famille. Des recommandations sensibles au genre sont discutées.
Depuis les dernières décennies, les ruptures d'unions conjugales se sont multipliées au Canada et au Québec, affectant maintenant 53 % des ménages (Duchesne, 2006). Ainsi, près de trois hommes sur cinq (56 %) se retrouvent dans un rôle de père gardien après la rupture (Duchesne, 2006). En dépit de changements législatifs et normatifs visant à favoriser un partage des responsabilités parentales après un divorce, la garde des enfants confiée à la mère demeure encore l'arrangement le plus courant. Les mères deviennent ainsi les principales, et souvent uniques, responsables des enfants, alors que la plupart des pères passent d'un rapport continu, régulier et intense avec leurs enfants, à une relation discontinue souvent imposée par la cour (Quéniart et Fournier, 1996).Cet article explore le phénomène du maintien de l'engagement du père après une rupture conjugale dans un contexte de pauvreté. Après avoir situé la problématique, les résultats de deux études qualitatives sur ce sujet sont présentés (Allard, Bourret et Tremblay, 2004; 2005), l'une à partir des propos de pères qui se disent encore engagés envers leurs enfants après la rupture, l'autre à partir de la parole de mères qui considèrent leur ex-conjoint encore impliqué auprès de leurs enfants. Les participants de ces deux études n'étaient pas appariés. Par la suite, les résultats sont confrontés afin de mettre en évidence les convergences et les divergences dans les points de vue des pères et des mères. Enfin, l'article conclut avec des éléments susceptibles d'inspirer les intervenants. Rappelons que la valorisation de l'engagement paternel après la rupture conjugale des parents vise à réduire le risque que ces enfants se retrouvent doublement pauvres : pauvres économiquement et « pauvres » (privés) de père (Allard et Binet, 2002; Marsiglio et Cohan, 2000).
International audience ; The National Orphaned/Abandoned Mines Initiative (NOAMI) was established in 2002. The multistakeholder nature of NOAMI has provided a uniquely Canadian opportunity for governments, non-governmental organisations, Aboriginal Canadians and the mining industry to discuss issues and barriers associated with the clean-up and remediation of orphaned and abandoned mine sites. This convergence of interests and mutual commitment to progress has fostered the success of this internationally recognized approach to influencing public policy and addressing issues of common concern.Over the past 5 years, NOAMI has been working diligently to influence policy and build capacity in Canada to address these issues. Various workshops, conferences and publications have provided the background information, analysis and network building that have driven the agenda forward. During this time, there has also been a substantial increase in remedial activities carried out by the jurisdictions across Canada. This paper provides a five-year summary of NOAMI's efforts and an overview of the remedial activities in the Canadian jurisdictions. The jurisdictional highlights feature many of the different approaches and partnerships employed across Canada.The paper also includes several international case studies of novel regeneration projects completed on legacy sites.
The legacy of orphaned/abandoned mines, with their associated environmental liability, human health concerns and the financial costs of clean up, is a serious issue facing Canada. Canada's long history in mining has resulted in more than 10,000 orphaned or abandoned sites, requiring varying degrees of rehabilitation. Mining regions have become less remote, and are often located close to populated areas, including many Aboriginal communities. A key priority of the federal Department of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is to promote the participation of Aboriginal communities in mining activities, including orphan and abandoned mines. Mining is generally regulated at the provincial level, although the federal department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada maintains most of the responsibility for mines in northern Canada. The National Orphaned/Abandoned Mines Initiative (NOAMI) was established in 2002, in response to the request of the Canadian Mines Ministers that a multi-stakeholder advisory committee be set-up to study various issues and initiatives concerning the development of partnerships in the implementation of remediation programs across Canada. NOAMI is a co-operative Canadian program that is guided by an Advisory Committee consisting of the mining industry, federal/provincial/territorial governments, environmental non-government organizations and Aboriginal Canadians1. This paper will present an overview of the scope of issues surrounding abandoned mines in Canada, and programs that have been initiated to address the problem. ; Non UBC ; Unreviewed ; Other
AbstractIn many ways, male farmers can be considered to be a vulnerable group in relation to mental health, experiencing high rates of suicide, psychological distress and low use of health services. This study highlights important connections between rurality, farming and masculinities in the context of men's mental health. In‐depth interviews with 32 male farmers from Quebec, Canada were completed focusing on stress and coping strategies. Findings include informal and formal strategies. Many participants had previous positive experience of formal help and would be willing to use such help again and to recommend it to others in need. Those without such experience are sceptical about services but recognise the courage it requires to seek help. Pride and lack of knowledge about services are the main barriers to help‐seeking, but it can be legitimated in certain contexts, such as divorce or other psychosocial crisis, and by alignment with particular male ideals. Role models at national or local levels can also help farmers prioritise their own and their family's wellbeing over stigmas and rigid, traditional masculine ideals. Furthermore, gender‐based strengths and recommendations for practice are also discussed.
The values that characterize the traditional and stereotypical image of rural masculinity put pressure on farming men to engage with risky behaviours, both physical and mental, and reduce their willingness to seek help. This paper investigates individual and social responses to adversity, under the lenses of response-based practice and gender-transformative health promotion. Our method is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with 32 farming men and 2 focus group interviews with 14 experts on men's health, farming, and rural social work. Results suggest gender is negotiated through individual and social responses to adversity, with fluid transitions between conformity and resistance with regard to traditional masculinity. Individual responses to adversity can include negative or positive coping strategies. Social responses can be supportive, or they can be marginalizing, such as the devaluation of farming. For farmers facing adversity, there is a disparity in social support, with communal solidarity being evident in a material crisis, but not in a personal one. Some community-based responses are highlighted for their ability to support farming men in coping with adversity.
Abstract. Background: The Province of Quebec, Canada (PQ), witnessed a drastic rise in suicide among adult men between 1990 and 2000, followed by a continuous drop since then. At the end of the 1990s, men's suicide became recognized as a social issue, leading to implementation of gender-responsive strategies focusing on positive aspects of masculinity. Many of these strategies received positive assessments. Aims: This article offers a critical overview of the evolution of social responses to men's suicide in PQ. Method: We highlight elements of success with examples of interventions targeting men directly, professionals who work with men, and natural support networks of men. Results: Results and discussion suggest the benefits to shift towards salutogenic, gender-transformative approach to men's suicide prevention. Conclusion: Closing remarks question the current gaps and upcoming challenges in suicide prevention among men.
La séparation conjugale et la pauvreté menacent doublement le maintien de l'engagement paternel. À partir du discours de pères séparés vivant en contexte de pauvreté et qui se considèrent comme engagés envers leur enfant, l'étude vise à comprendre comment ces pères maintiennent leur engagement envers leur enfant dans l'adversité. Les participants rapportent diverses stratégies pour rester pères dans un contexte où s'additionnent contraintes et pressions imputables tant à la rupture qu'à la pauvreté. De l'analyse se dégagent des éléments qui semblent avoir encouragé la continuité de leur engagement paternel. Une meilleure compréhension des enjeux reliés à ce phénomène contribuera sans doute à alimenter la réflexion et la pratique des intervenants et ainsi à réduire la double pauvreté des enfants qui, en plus d'être économiquement défavorisés, se retrouvent encore trop souvent, après la rupture, privés de leur père.
