Services for children

At Marie-Vincent, we provide specialized services tailored to the needs of child victims of sexual violence and to children under the age of 12 presenting sexual behaviour problems (SBP).

These services are centralized under one roof to ensure an integrated and coherent approach. They are delivered by qualified professionals who make up our clinical team, as well as by partners in the police, medical and socio-judicial sectors.

If a child or adolescent confides that they have experienced sexual abuse, we invite you to see the following page:

Services for children

Our interventions are adapted to each child’s profile and needs, whether the child is a victim of sexual violence or presents sexual behaviour problems.

The results observed following specialized interventions carried out at Marie-Vincent, and documented by the Marie-Vincent Research Chair, show that supported children generally demonstrate:

  • improved self-esteem;
  • fewer symptoms of anxiety;
  • fewer symptoms of depression;
  • a reduction in post-traumatic stress, including decreased avoidance strategies, feelings of guilt and dissociative symptoms.
