A second edition of a training session by the RÉSAL, coordinated by the ICPC

As part of the process of developing the capacity-building activities of the Montreal Network Réseau d’échange et de soutien aux actions locales (RÉSAL), of which the ICPC is a coordinator, a second edition of the training session on trauma-sensitive approaches for youth was held on May 30, 2024, following the success of the first edition, which took place in winter 2024. This event marked the start of a new series of 2024-2025 training sessions funded by the City of Montreal’s Prévention Montréal program. 

Hosted by Annie Grenier, criminologist and program planning and research officer at CISSS Montérégie-Est, and by Christiane Girard, specialist in clinical activities with young offenders at CIUSSS Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal, this training session brought together field workers, social development officers and representatives of community organizations and institutions working with youth in the Greater Montreal area.

This training session addressed the distinction between simple and complex trauma, highlighting the variety of traumatic events and their impact on different paths of life, such as attachment, cognition, and emotion regulation. It also emphasized the importance of attentive listening and reception, rather than investigation when working with young victims of trauma. Practical case studies were also presented.

ICPC attends ADS+ training session

ICPC attended an Analyse différenciée selon les sexes intersectionnelle (ADS+) training session (Intersectional Gender Analysis), on the theme of violence prevention and urban safety. This training session, with a cross-cutting approach to countering discrimination, was offered by Relais-femmes, in collaboration with the City of Montreal.

More specifically, its objectives were to:

  • Understand the impact of stereotypes and systemic discrimination in the lives of individuals;
  • Develop a shared understanding of gender-based and intersectional analysis;
  • And to learn about concrete applications of ADS+ in the city of Montreal.

It offered a better understanding of how to use effective and necessary tools to integrate gender-based and intersectional analysis at each stage of a project cycle: more accurate data, a more accurate picture of the needs of marginalized social groups, more inclusive communication and events, more comprehensive impact assessments, etc.
