This awareness and training program is at the heart of the transformation of our Archdiocese.
"With the ombudsman listening to victims, this Focus on the Victims of Abuse training is essential to learn together and get involved together for prevention," Archbishop Christian Lépine.
Presented in a one-day format, at the Archdiocese of Montreal, this training is offered free of charge.
It is mandatory for all pastoral personnel, churchwardens, catechists (18 years and older), Pastoral Home Care/SASMAD volunteers, and paid employees from all parishes and missions in the Archdiocese.
Here are some testimonials:
- "This training is essential. Thank you so much for this program. I feel better equipped and protected".
- "Very open-minded of the diocese, especially since we're tackling themes that have always been taboo".
- "The testimonies are very touching and make us think about the importance of "never again".
