She completed a Bachelor of Arts degree and a diploma in pedagogy from the University of Ottawa[3] in 1939, then taught in Cornwall and Mountain, Ontario.[2]

Guidon helped found the Montreal Counselling and Rehabilitation Centre and was its director from 1947 to 1977. She also founded the Quebec Psycho-Education Centre which she directed from 1953 to 1969 while teaching psychology at the Université de Montréal.[2]

After obtaining her doctorate in psychology in 1969 from the Université de Montréal,[1] Jeannine Guidon and Gilles Gendreau [fr] presided over the creation of the university's School of Psychoeducation in 1971.[1] She was its director from 1972 to 1976. Guindon, Gendreau, and Euchariste Paulhus were the three main founders of psychoeducation, a discipline serving young people in difficulty.[1][4] Guindon particularly chose to train caregivers for people who have intellectual or other disabilities, children with emotional problems, delinquent persons, or those who were socially maladjusted.[2]

In 1976, Guindon co-founded the Mariebourg Center and the Montreal Training and Rehabilitation Institute,[4] which she directed until 1984.[2] Guindon continued to work as a professor of psychology at the Université de Montréal until 1984 and was a member of the university's board of directors from 1977 to 1985.[5]

In 1992, the training institute became the Institut de formation humaine intégrale de Montréal (transl. Montreal Institute for Integral Human Training and received people from around the world.[2]
