Grant: Prize - IHDCYH Talks

The video summarizes some of our key research that focuses on the consequences of child sexual abuse while emphasizing the promotion of efficient, evidence-based interventions. Despite the high prevalence of the phenomenon (Barth, Bermetz, Heim, Trelle, & Tonia, 2013) as well as the deleterious consequences associated with sexual victimization (Hébert, Amédée, Blais, & Gauthier-Duchesne, 2019), it seemed important to disseminate a message of hope based on our research findings for victims, their caregivers and other significant adults, highlighting the factors related to resilience. The production of this video meets all of IHDCYH's targeted objectives by being a knowledge transfer tool designed for a large audience, based on the results of our research, which has been widely published, as well as its significant applications in practice, aiming for the optimal well-being of child and adolescent victims of sexual violence (Hébert & Amédée, 2020). The content of the video is also consistent with the Institute's strategic research priorities, including integrated child and youth research and health services as well as mental health.
