title: [Preliminary qualitative evaluation of a shared-care mental health programme with youths in Montréal: facing institutional and cultural uncertainty].
abstract: This article describes a collaborative mental health care project for youths, implemented in Montreal in a multiethnic setting. The authors examine the adjustments needed in the shared-care model to address the complexity of cultural and cooperation issues raised in the provision of services to a multiethnic population. A preliminary qualitative evaluation of the project shows how first-line workers face many uncertainties, stemming from both the institutional context and the multicultural reality of the population served. Results from this study advance the hypothesis that although uncertainties may generate discomfort and confusion, they may also open a space for innovation and acceptance of otherness.
