We are delighted to announce that the Montréal Marie-Vincent Child & Youth Advocacy Centre (CAEJ) is getting ready to move to a bigger and optimized space located at 4100 Molson Street, where all administrative, training and prevention services are already located.
Marie-Vincent has partnered with the École nationale de police du Québec (ÉNPQ) for several years now, particularly with respect to the “Non-suggestive investigative interview using the revised NICHD guide” training. This training is offered to investigators and to professionals working for the Director of Youth Protection (DYP).
On May 16, partners, donors, government representatives and Marie-Vincent team members were on hand... for the press conference announcing the official opening of the 2nd Marie-Vincent CYAC located in Châteauguay, in the Montérégie region. Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette and our spokesperson Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin were among our special guests. It marked the beginning of another important chapter in Marie-Vincent’s history, as we focus on better service accessibility to reach our goal of helping more young victims of sexual violence in the area. Until just recently, they made up to 30% of those on our waiting list.
