Delphine Collin-Vézina, Ph.D., is the Tier II Canada Research Chair in Child Welfare and Associate Professor at McGill University's School of Social Work. She is a clinical psychologist by profession and a researcher in the area of child sexual abuse and trauma.
The overall objective of her research is to promote recognition of the needs of trauma victims, by documenting the evolution of victimization rates over time and evaluating the impact of social and organizational factors. Dr. Collin-Vézina is examining trauma experiences among understudied at-risk populations, including members of Aboriginal communities and youth living in residential treatment units; by evaluating and implementing promising practices regarding the provision of responsible care and intervention for trauma victims, whether in designated centres or within child protection services
The webinar will feature Dr. Collin-Vézina's work done in collaboration with five scholars whose expertise lies in trauma, out-of-home care children, and child welfare services (Drs. Nico Trocmé, Martine Hébert, Isabelle Daigneault, Tristan Milot, Nadine Lanctôt) and two youth protection center psychologists (Myriam Brunet and Sylvain Rouleau).
