Sexual Assault

 

Welcome the website of the Table de concertation sur les agressions à caractère sexuel de Montréal. Whether you are a caregiver/counsellor, a sexual assault victim, or someone who is close to a sexual assault victim, this site has been prepared to give you the information you need to deal with situations involving sexual assault.

 

 

Most of the information on this site is intended for people working in community, school, health, police or judicial services whose work often gives them the opportunity to create a bond of trust with the people who come to them for help. This type of connection sometimes encourages victims to reveal the sexual assault they have suffered, so it is important to know how to react to this type of disclosure and how to refer victims to the appropriate resources.

The content of this site provides answers to the many questions that can arise during the course of such interventions. For example, how should you proceed in cases of emergency? What should you do when someone tells you about a recent assault? How should you react if you suspect that a child is being sexually abused? What are the best attitudes to adopt when someone tells you about her sexual assault? What attitudes should be avoided? Where should you refer sexual assault victims and survivors?
