Services for men
The services offered in the adult program are intended for men using violence, men in difficult situations, 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 sessions, awareness workshops or support groups.
Our services are available in French and English.
Perpetrators of violence
We support men who want to stop using violent behaviours in intimate, family or other relationships.
Our intervention follows a humanistic and accountability-based approach. We believe that everyone has the capacity to change and make better choices while taking responsibility for their actions.
