Summary:On the heels of models centred on the idea of empowerment and the development of the power of action of persons and groups, views about the sharing of parents in decisions concerning their children dominate the field of social work. How can such an approach be embodied in the particular context of intervention with young people with multiple difficulties characterised by the complexity of their social problems and relationships with their partners? This article gives an account of the experiences in the field of cross-sector partnership practice of youth intervention teams in Quebec. The analysis of this experience from the point of view of the power of action of the parents illustrates how important it is to develop a reflective attitude in order to counter the unintentional consequences of our systems of references on the lives of these young people and their families.
