[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your SSHRC-funded project "Les difficultés émotionnelles et les relations sociales au travail des intervenants sociaux dans les services offerts aux enfants et aux familles en difficulté dans le réseau de la santé et des services sociaux du Québec" (2021), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction.
