Danielle Nadeau

With degrees in law and psychology (Ph.D.), Danielle Nadeau initially worked as a lawyer before transitioning to roles as an expert psychologist and child therapist, as well as in the organization of services for troubled youth. A member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec since 1998, she has been an institutional researcher at the Centre de recherche universitaire sur les Jeunes et les familles du CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale (CRUJeF) since 2006, and an associate professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Université Laval.

Her work focuses on the mental health and development of children in abusive situations, as well as the organization of services and the evaluation of applied multi-sectoral intervention programs to meet their complex needs. All of this is done using mixed methods combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, to refine study questions and integrate new knowledge to support the development of practices.
