Ordre professionnel des sexologues du Québec
The Ordre professionnel des sexologues du Québec (OPSQ) was established in 2013. Governed by Québec’s Professional Code, the OPSQ plays a leading role in ensuring public protection with respect to the practice of sexology. The OPSQ is proud to contribute to the improvement of sexual health for Quebecers. The Order is also responsible for regulating access to the profession, ensuring the maintenance and development of sexologists’ competencies, and monitoring compliance with professional practice standards.
Beyond its regulatory mandate, the OPSQ supports the profession through the issuance of licenses, oversight of professional practice, professional inspections, and member support. In doing so, it contributes to the image, credibility, and ongoing development of sexology in Québec, while ensuring that Quebecers have access to high-quality, accessible, and safe specialized services.
The OPSQ plays a central role in the evolution and recognition of the profession, particularly in a context where issues related to sexual health, human relationships, and psychosexual well-being are taking on increasing importance in society. The Order acts as a credible interlocutor with public authorities, contributes to social and policy discussions related to sexuality and social services, and advocates for the unique expertise of sexologists, particularly in clinical, community, and institutional settings.
