  Sylvain Houle

  With nearly 40 years of experience in the field of social intervention and the helping relationship, Sylvain has devoted his career to supporting individuals and families during sometimes difficult times. Over the years, he notably worked at the Direction de la jeunesse, where he was called upon to intervene with young people, individuals, and families experiencing complex situations. His career also led him to work for three years within an Indigenous community on the Lower North Shore, an experience that enriched his understanding of the realities specific to the communities of the region. Today, he continues his professional commitment in private practice as part of helping relationship and family mediation services. Through all these experiences, Sylvain has always been committed to being present for people, listening to them, and supporting them with respect and kindness. × I commit to voting for Sylvain Houle as member of the National Assembly in the riding of Mégantic
