"Comment protéger la famille au complet" Exploring the lived experience of North African immigrant parents with Québec's child welfare system: Understanding the distress around Youth Protection involvement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present qualitative study examines the lived experiences of six first-generation NorthAfrican immigrant parents in QC who received services from the Direction of Youth Protection(DYP). Guided by a phenomenological approach, the primary data collection method was indepthinterviews. The data were coded and analyzed according to the research questions.The research resulted in four major themes that emerged from the stories shared by theparticipants: (a) child-protection from the parents' perspective; (b) parents' perception of DYPservices; (c) help and services received: expectations versus reality; and (d) partnerships withresources and bridging cultural distance. I analyzed these themes through the theoreticalframework of intersectionality and cultural humility practice. The experiences of the parents inthis study serve as a framework for discussion about the research and practice gaps that exist inthe DYP interventions for immigrant families from the North African community.This study revealed a gap between parents' perceived and actual role of the DYP. Parentsprioritized parental authority, academic performance, and a family-centered approach overchild's rights and protection that are emphasized by the DYP. The themes emerging from theresearch can offer DYP professionals an insight into how to create alliance and fostercollaboration between the parents and DYP professionals to work towards the children's bestinterest. Implications for social work practice and research are discussed.Keywords: Youth protection, North African immigrants, parents, phenomenology,intersectionality, cultural humility

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
