Transmission
Research only makes sense, in my view, if it can also leave the university walls and engage with society. Understanding parental realities, child development, or psychological vulnerabilities is not enough: this knowledge must also be made accessible, useful, and actionable for those who need it in their daily lives.
As a researcher, clinician, and trainer, I believe there is a genuine responsibility to contribute to better mental health for children, parents, and families more broadly. My approach, in all humility, consists of translating scientific knowledge into concrete, understandable, and nuanced reference points, without ever sacrificing rigor or yielding to excessive simplification.
This commitment to transmission takes several forms: writing books for the general public and professionals, developing certification programs and university certificates, leading webinars and conferences on major clinical and societal issues, as well as a regular presence in the media and through my monthly newsletter Parent Balance.
For me, transmission is not simply about informing: it is about helping people think, nuance, understand, and sometimes simply feel less alone when facing the complexity of reality. Circulating knowledge, making it alive and useful, thus constitutes the natural extension of my research work and clinical commitment.
