Περίληψη: Objectives: Canadian Inuit children present more developmental vulnerabilities than other non-Indigenous children. Supporting the development of these children is therefore essential, especially in urban environments where the Inuit population is growing. This study aimed to identify the main resources used by Inuit families living in urban environments of southern Québec, (Canada) and to better understand their needs related to supporting the healthy development of their children.
Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with 13 self-identified Inuit parents of at least one child aged 0 to 18 living in southern Québec.
Results: The study revealed that urban Inuit families primarily require support to meet their basic needs, ensure a safe family environment, promote their children's health, education, and socialization, foster the transmission of Inuit cultural and linguistic heritage, and, finally, enhance access to a culturally safe social environment. The study also revealed that despite living closer to a variety of resources intended to support their children's healthy development, families encounter significant barriers in accessing these resources. Moreover, families have specific needs that are often not adequately addressed by the resources currently available.
Conclusion: The study highlighted that the needs of Inuit families extend well beyond support for skills acquisition in the various developmental domains. Supporting the healthy development of Inuit children therefore requires a coherent and intensive response to families' most urgent needs. In the light of such findings, there is a clear need to improve access to existing resources, as well as to develop Inuit-led services that are adapted to realities and specific needs of the families.

Local Abstract: [Publisher, French] RéSUMé: OBJECTIFS: Les enfants inuit canadiens présentent davantage de vulnérabilités développementales que les autres enfants non autochtones. Il apparaît donc essentiel de mieux soutenir le développement de ces enfants, notamment dans les milieux urbains où la population inuit est en croissance. Le but de cette étude était d’identifier les principales ressources utilisées par les familles inuit vivant dans les milieux urbains du sud du Québec (Canada) ainsi que de mieux comprendre leurs besoins en matière de soutien au développement sain de leurs enfants. MéTHODE: Une étude qualitative descriptive a été réalisée au moyen d’entrevues semi-structurées conduites auprès de 13 parents s’identifiant comme Inuit, ayant au moins un enfant âgé entre 0 et 18 ans et vivant dans le sud du Québec. RéSULTATS: Cette étude a fait ressortir que les principaux besoins des familles inuit vivant en milieux urbains sont le soutien à la réponse aux besoins de base, à la mise en place d’un environnement familial sécuritaire, à la santé, à l’éducation et à la socialisation des enfants, à la transmission du patrimoine culturel et linguistique inuit et, finalement, à l’accès à un environnement social culturellement sécuritaire. Cette étude a également révélé que malgré la proximité d’une multitude de ressources visant à soutenir le développement sain de leurs enfants, les familles font face à de nombreux obstacles qui limitent leur accès à ces ressources. Par ailleurs, les familles présentent des besoins spécifiques auxquels il est plus difficile de répondre avec les ressources actuellement disponibles. CONCLUSION: Cette étude a permis de mettre en lumière que les besoins des familles inuit vont bien au-delà du soutien à l’acquisition d’habiletés dans les différentes sphères développementales. L’amélioration du soutien au développement sain des enfants inuit passe donc par une réponse cohérente et intensive aux besoins les plus criants des familles. À la lumière de ces résultats, il apparaît nécessaire d’améliorer l’accès aux ressources déjà existantes de même que de développer, en collaboration avec la communauté inuit urbaine, de nouveaux services adaptés aux réalités et aux besoins spécifiques des familles.
