EMDR: a recognized new therapeutic approach
Objective
It aims to help the person free themselves from the emotional imprint of an unpleasant or traumatic memory. Unlike a traditional therapeutic approach based on verbal communication, certain events are not explored in as much detail, and the process requires far fewer questions. This can be particularly helpful with children.
Recognized
EMDR is recognized by the Ordre des psychologues du Québec and recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for working with traumatic situations, including sexual abuse.
We’re the only organization in Quebec dedicated to treating victims of sexual abuse to offer EMDR psychotherapy.
Our EMDR guides
These guides provide a clear and accessible introduction to EMDR, tailored to the needs of both children and adults.
Using simple language, illustrations, and concrete examples, they explain how this therapy can help overcome trauma and foster emotional healing.

ÉVIB: a new hyperspecialized assessment tool
We meet with each person receiving our services to complete an Impact and Needs Assessment (ÉVIB, évaluation des impacts et des besoins).
During an interview, two specialist counsellors paint a comprehensive picture of the victim’s current situation, the abuse’s repercussions in the various areas of their life, and the resulting needs.
This summary allows one to create a tailored path, identify any risks, and prioritize the team’s services so that the person can concentrate on what matters most: their recovery.
ÉVIB — a new assessment tool designed and tested by our network of psychotherapists, counsellors, lawyers, and police officers — is set for evaluation and validation by researchers to enhance its accessibility.
