The ICPC was honored to participate in the 2nd Forensia conference on “Domestic Violence: Exploring the Intersections between Research and Practice”, held on February 16, 2024, at the Centre Mont-Royal in Montreal.

Thia conference highlighted an important objective in Forensia’s ongoing efforts to help combat domestic violence. It followed a series of significant research initiatives and projects in this field, aimed at providing new knowledge and broadening intervention perspectives to address the needs of the various stakeholders involved. The event brought together various audiences, including criminologists, social workers, specialized educators, doctors, nurses, researchers, students, decision-makers and community organizations.

The conferences covered a wide range of topics, such as the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people, Indigenous realities, the consequences of sexual violence, and the paths of perpetrators of domestic violence. One of the key themes was the importance of effective integrated violence intervention programs and practices, offering specific support to women, and the crucial importance of collaboration between research and practitioners. Programs such as “Étincelle” (for 15-17-year-olds) and “Constellation” (for 17-24-year-olds college students) were particularly highlighted. 

The ICPC’s participation in this event strengthened its focus on promoting safer, more inclusive communities.  

Thank you for the invitation!
