Services for men
The services offered in the adult program are intended for men using violence, men going through a difficult time and men who are victims of violence.
Our intervention team offers confidential support to help men address their challenges and implement strategies to improve their situation.
Support is provided through individual counseling, awareness workshops or support groups.
Our services are available in French and English. *Please note that, at the moment, english services are only offered through individual counseling.
