I wanted to create associations for children in need; I wanted to do humanitarian work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That idea \u2014 of just giving people the chance to get help if they need it \u2014 has always stayed with me. I got my undergraduate degree in psychology, but there was a social dimension that was missing for me: connecting with every aspect of a person&#8217;s life\u2026 and that&#8217;s when I discovered social work. Teenagers and young adults, I just can\u2019t get enough of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re on the margins of society, you still define yourself in relation to society; you can\u2019t ever be totally on the outside, or totally invisible. Street kids aren\u2019t invisible, but they\u2019re disturbing \u2014 to some people, anyway. Sometimes we tend to focus on their difficulties, because some have run away, others have spent time in the street, but when you accept someone completely, the whole person&#8230; If a young person tells me they want to commit suicide, it&#8217;s my job to try to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen, but beyond that, I really care about these kids. They all have strengths, abilities, beautiful philosophies about life; they\u2019re fantastic people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 Myriam&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myriam travaille pour En Marge 12-17, le seul lieu \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al qui offre un accueil en tout temps aux jeunes vivant dans la rue et \u00e0 leur famille.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6334,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"428,628,577,358,6181,922","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[668,669],"tags":[670,678],"content-type":[709],"sector":[182,183],"class_list":["post-21035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volunteering","category-youth-success","tag-youth","tag-homelessness","content-type-testimonials","sector-centre-sud","sector-cote-des-neiges"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-28 05:37:48","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21035"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21035\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23933,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21035\/revisions\/23933"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21035"},{"taxonomy":"content-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-type?post=21035"},{"taxonomy":"sector","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.centraide-mtl.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sector?post=21035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
