1. Complementary & Compassionate Services
1.1 Our Mission is to provide…
- Services and support for every child in Nunavik to grow, learn and succeed in a safe and culturally relevant environment.
- Trauma-informed services to all students and strengthen Nunavik schools in this area.
- Professional development opportunities to increase Inuit capacity in areas related to student support services.
Our vision
- We put the child first
- Positive regard for: Children, their parents, the community
- Support students in partnership with the school staff, administrators and parents
Support services for students
Each and every student is different. Some students have special needs. For example, students may have special needs related to their hearing, sight, speech, emotions or behaviour. Our services help students get the right support.
In Quebec, approximately one student out of five is identified as having special needs. This represents 20% of the overall student population (MEES, 2019). The school board estimates that in Nunavik, the proportion of students with special needs is similar to the provincial reality.
Who provides the services?
A regional team of professionals provides support services to students in Nunavik. They work closely with their counterparts in each school. Our regional professionals specialize in two areas: psychosocial and special education support.
In the psychosocial sector, students who may be affected by social and community challenges can find support from our specialized team. Our team consists of student support professionals, local student counselors and behavior technicians.
For the special education sector, the area of learning challenges such as dyslexia first need to be screened and assessed. Our team of pedagogical counselors, psychologist and speech and language pathologist will work directly with the school support staff such as the special education teachers and technicians.
The regional team is formed of psychologists, psycho-educators, education consultants, speech therapist and coordination managers.
In each school, the members of this team work closely with behaviour technicians, student counsellors, student support professionals, special education technicians and special education.
Team
My name is Tunu Napartuk, I am the Director of Complementary and Compassionate Services (CCS) and I am based in Kuujjuaq, Qc. I am with the CCS department since over a year and it has been privilege to work for the schools in Nunavik. I learned very quickly that all of our work and decisions we make are for the student first. So, creating partners with each member of the schools in each of the communities is really important.
My studies
- Class of ’89 at Jaanimmarik School in Kuujjuaq, Qc. in French.
My professional background
- I am the Director of Complementary and Compassionate Services since August 2019.
- I was the Mayor of Kuujjuaq from November 2012 to October 2018.
- As Mayor, I was a member of or worked very closely with the Kativik Regional Government during that span.
- I was also a board member for the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Service from 2012 to 2015.
- I have previously worked at the Kativik Regional Government at the Information Technology Department and the Recreation Department.
My responsibilities
I am responsible to make sure that support and services reaches to the student in need through two important sectors; Special Education and Psychosocial Support. Our staff in Special Education sector prioritizes support to student with learning needs that may range from learning and physical disabilities to children with more specialized needs. Through the Psychosocial Support sector, personal and social needs of the students as well as the staff are prioritized. Social challenges of our communities will affect our students and it is our responsibility to give this important support to local resources in the schools.
In July 2019, the Council of Commissioners approved the restructuring of CCS. Compassionate Schools became part of Complementary Services. Through our Compassionate Schools team and by using the Positive Behaviour Interventions and Supports (PBIS) approach, teachers in the communities will receive support and training to relate to this approach.
- To ensure the cultural and social reality of the Inuit of Nunavik is respected and understood;
- To make available support and services to students needs outside of their regular classroom;
- To create partners with other local and regional organizations to remove the gaps of services needed for the success of our students;
- To improve academic success by ensuring the social needs of the children are met and understood by our resources.
I encourage you to contact me by email or by phone (819 964-1136 ext. 230) with your ideas and suggestions. Ideas may come from your experience in other schools or in your own life.
2. Special Education
For the special education sector, the area of learning challenges such as dyslexia first need to be screened and assessed. Our team of pedagogical counselors, psychologist and speech and language pathologist will work directly with the school support staff such as the special education teachers and technicians.
