Through its various training programs, Marie-Vincent ensures the transfer of knowledge and the development of best practices in the prevention and intervention of sexual violence affecting children and teenagers. Our training programs are designed for professionals working with young people in education, healthcare, social services, early childhood care, community organizations and the socio-judicial sector.
Marie-Vincent is dedicated to empowering professionals with the skills and capacity to build a protective community that prevents sexual violence against children and teenagers.
Each year, Marie-Vincent trains thousands of professionals working with young people across Québec, both in person and online, through live and on-demand sessions.
Collaboration between Marie-Vincent’s professionals and the researchers at the Marie-Vincent Interuniversity Research Chair on Sexual Violence Against Children give us access to the latest scientific research and data, ensuring that our training programs are regularly updated and continuously improved.
Marie-Vincent’s training programs empower professionals working with children and teens affected by sexual violence, prioritizing their skill development and learning. Based on established adult learning principles, our training encourages participants to engage at their own pace in a welcoming and motivating environment. We utilize a variety of learning strategies, combining theory and hands-on practice through role-playing, exercises, discussions, matching games and problem-solving activities.
Our team of nearly 50 experienced trainers brings together diverse expertise in sexology, criminology, psychotherapy, psychology, social work and more. They dispense both theoretical knowledge and real-world experience working with youth.
Many of our training programs and tools on the prevention and intervention of sexual violence against children and youth are tailored to specific professional sectors. Explore them here:
