Welcome to the official website of the Provincial Collective on Male Victimization (CNVAM)
The Provincial Collective on Male Victimization (CNVAM), founded in 2019, by Natacha Godbout, PhD., Professor and researcher in the Department of Sexology at the Université du Québec à Montréal and Director of the Unité de recherche et d'intervention sur le TRAuma et le CouplE (TRACE), in collaboration with Audrey Brassard, PhD, Jean-Martin Deslauriers, PhD, Mylène Fernet, PhD, Martine Hébert, PhD, André Samson, PhD, men's community organizations and male survivors.
This partnership between a research team, men's community organizations, and male survivors of childhood interpersonal trauma aims to bring together the various actors in order to promote empirical knowledge on male victimization and its practical applications. This unique collective aims to document the issues of male victims, to document the range of existing practices for male victims, and to implement a systematic evaluation protocol when men consult survivor support services.
Ultimately, the collective wishes to develop, and disseminate material to raise awareness and inform the general population about the realities, and needs of male survivors of sexual assault, to promote networking and the sharing of information, and training between organizations of assistance to men and their workers, the research community and the general public.
