Prime Minister of Canada MESSAGE DU PREMIER MINISTRE La recherche scientique contribue pleinement à l’avancement de nos sociétés, favorisant notre qualité de vie par des innovations sans cesse plus poussées et performantes. Sa place est d’ailleurs de plus en plus cruciale dans le domaine de la santé, notamment en raison de l’évolution des connaissances et des technologies médicales. C’est également le cas en santé mentale et en psychologie, où la recherche a un rôle majeur à jouer, car elle contribue au développement de traitements prometteurs et à l’amélioration des soins et des services offerts à la population. À cet égard, je suis persuadé de l’importance de favoriser les échanges entre les spécialistes, autant du côté de la recherche que du côté clinique, an de faire bénécier la collectivité des plus récentes percées en la matière. C’est pourquoi je suis très er que le Congrès international de psychologie appliquée, qui en est à sa 29e édition et dont le Québec est l’hôte pour la première fois depuis 1974, se tienne cette année à Montréal. Cet événement permettra de rééchir collectivement sur les approches et les méthodes les plus probantes en vue de favoriser le mieux-être des individus, des groupes et de la société, grâce à la participation de nombreux spécialistes de renommée internationale. En terminant, je tiens à féliciter l’équipe de la Société canadienne de psychologie et de MCI Canada pour l’organisation de ce congrès de même que l’Association internationale de psychologie appliquée. En espérant que cette rencontre internationale soit l’occasion de rencontres et de collaborations des plus fructueuses, je vous souhaite à toutes et à tous un excellent congrès! Philippe Couillard Scientic research contributes greatly to the advancement of our societies, enhancing our quality of life through increasingly advanced and high-performance innovations. Indeed, its role is becoming increasingly crucial in the eld of health, particularly owing to the advancement of medical knowledge and technologies. This is also the case in mental health and psychology, areas in which research has a major role to play, since it contributes to the development of promising treatments and to improving the care and services available to the population. In this regard, I am convinced of the importance of fostering discussion between specialists, both on the research side and on the clinical side, so as to enable the community to benet from the most recent breakthroughs in the eld. This is why I am very proud that the International Congress of Applied Psychology, which is holding its 29th edition, and which Québec is hosting for the rst time since 1974, is taking place in Montréal this year. This event will enable collective reection on the most promising approaches and methods to enhance the well-being of individuals, groups and society, owing to the participation of many internationally renowned specialists. In conclusion, I wish to congratulate the team of the Canadian Psychological Association and MCI Canada for organizing this congress, as well as the International Association of Applied Psychology. Hoping that this international gathering will be an opportunity for very fruitful meetings and collaborations, I wish you all an excellent congress! La Mairesse de Montréal I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the participants of the 29th International Congress of Applied Psychology.
