A multilateral multi-year Protocol for Agreements for Minority Language and Second-Language Education with the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (1983, re-structured in 2013) sets the parameters for this intergovernmental collaboration. Students and their caregivers get help more quickly, through referral to a wide range of specialist and community services, including crisis intervention, youth mental health, after-school programming, parent and family supports, sexual health, and child care. The strategy aims to support students who may be at risk of not succeeding and not reaching their full potential.
