Journée thématique | Miser sur une approche globale et concertée pour prévenir la violence chez les jeunes
*In French only
L’équipe Promotion de la sécurité et prévention de la violence de l’Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ) est responsable de l’organisation d’une journée thématique qui aura lieu dans le cadre des Journées annuelles de santé publique (JASP) 2024 et à laquelle notre directrice Ghayda Hassan prendra part en tant que conférencière. Les JASP sont un rendez-vous annuel francophone incontournable de formation continue en santé publique au Québec. L’édition aura lieu à l'hôtel Bonaventure de Montréal les 2, 3 et 4 décembre 2024.
Cette journée thématique intitulée « Miser sur une approche globale et concertée pour prévenir la violence chez les jeunes » vise à permettre aux personnes participantes de saisir l’importance d’adopter une approche globale et concertée pour prévenir la violence commise et subie par les jeunes. Cette formation s’adresse au personnel professionnel de santé publique, du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux, des organismes communautaires et du milieu universitaire (recherche et communauté étudiante) ainsi qu’à tout professionnel intervenant auprès des jeunes (p. ex. milieu scolaire, milieu policier, milieu municipal).
Lutter contre la violence envers les enfants dans les migrations
In French only
Ce webinaire sera présenté par notre directrice des partenariats et du développement des programmes, Zeina Ismail-Allouche (Ph.D.) : « Ce webinaire aborde la question cruciale de la violence envers les enfants au cours du parcours migratoire, en mettant l'accent sur l'identification des signes de violence et des facteurs complexes du modèle socio-écologique qui contribuent à ces vulnérabilités. Il mettra en évidence le rôle des expériences négatives de l'enfance dans le façonnement de la santé mentale des enfants migrants. Les participants exploreront des interventions pratiques fondées sur les principes d'équité, de diversité et d'inclusion, dotant les prestataires de services directs de stratégies pour soutenir et protéger ces enfants aux niveaux individuel, familial, communautaire et sociétal, garantissant une approche holistique et inclusive de leur bien-être et de leur santé mentale. »

Finding Common Ground : Addressing hate and racism in Canada
Our director, Ghayda Hassan, will present her research on online hate and addressing racism in the digital realm during this event.
“Across Canada, communities, governments, workplaces, and institutions are embarking on plans and strategies to tackle racism and discrimination. At a time when geopolitical issues, misinformation, population growth and economic challenges are straining our social fabric and contributing to increases in hate crimes, what policies, solutions and approaches will help find common ground?
The Globe and Mail will host a series of national conversations in 2024 and 2025 focused on anti-racism and anti-hate strategies in society, health care, public institutions, and online spaces to drive change for a better Canada.”
Formation « pratico-pratique » sur les revues systématiques
Mener à bien une revue systématique de la littérature est un projet d’envergure rappelant les 12 travaux d’Astérix. C’est une démarche susceptible de s’échelonner sur plusieurs années, de monopoliser plusieurs auxiliaires et professionnel(le)s de recherche, et d’entraîner des coûts importants. Cela dit, c’est aussi une des méthodes les plus robustes et reconnues par la communauté scientifique pour faire le point sur un sujet, identifier des lignes directrices de pratique fondées sur les données probantes, ou encore évaluer l’efficacité d’une intervention ou d’une mesure sociale.
Pour le meilleur et pour le pire, notre équipe a effectué plusieurs revues systématiques dans les sept dernières années et a ainsi développé une expertise en la matière. L’objectif de l’atelier est donc de transmettre cette expertise et de proposer une formation « terre-à-terre » sur les nombreuses étapes inhérentes à la réalisation d’une revue systématique.
Cinq étapes seront couvertes : la phase de conceptualisation, de recherche bibliographique, de sélection des textes, d’extraction des données et de rédaction/mobilisation des connaissances. Des exemples et exercices permettront de saisir non seulement le rationnel derrière ces étapes, mais aussi de se familiariser avec l’aspect « pratico-pratique » des tâches à accomplir. Le tout sera effectué avec humour et autodérision, notamment par le biais d’une couverture exhaustive de tous les pièges dans lesquels nous sommes tombés au travers des années, et dont nous voulons vous prémunir.

E-Learning Launch Webinar | Deconstructing Violent Radicalization and Extremism: Towards an Anti-Oppressive Framework
Join us on November 8, from 11 AM to 12 PM (ET), for the launch of CPN-PREV’s free e-learning course, Deconstructing Violent Radicalization and Extremism: Towards an Anti-Oppressive Framework. Designed for both new and experienced practitioners, students, and the general public, this course rethinks common narratives around violent extremism and introduces an anti-oppressive approach to prevention. Through three modules—Centering, Decentering, and Practice—participants reflect on their role, challenge biases, and gain practical insights to build safer prevention spaces and inclusive intervention strategies.
In this webinar, we will present the foundation, objectives, and pedagogical approach of the course. We will provide a preview of the modules, share feedback from early participants, and guide you through the registration process. The session will conclude with a Q&A, giving you the chance to engage with us directly. Register for the webinar today!

It is violence, not pathology, that is the problem!
CPN-PREV is proud to participate in an upcoming conversation with Dr. Catherine Richardson (Ph.D.) and our director, Dr. Ghayda Hassan (Ph.D.), on the topic of dignity in violence prevention. This event is organized by our partner, the CSLP, in collaboration with the Indigenous Healing Knowledges Concordia Chair.
AVERT INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM
Our director Ghayda Hassan will participate in the next AVERT Research Network International Research Symposium as part of a Practitioner Special Address!
“In recent years there have been demographic shifts in the people drawn to or participating in violent extremism, the places they come from and the spaces where they participate in and mobilise to violence. The age range of those involved in violent extremist movements and networks has now expanded to include both younger and older cohorts. Violent extremist networks and movements are emerging in rural and semi-rural locales in addition to urban/suburban areas that formerly produced the greatest concentrations of violent extremist engagement. In addition to offline mobilisation and participation, there has been significant growth and diversification in the virtual spaces where violent extremism manifests including enhanced virtual spaces, like the metaverse and other virtual realities, which blur the dichotomy between online and offline spaces and behaviours. These shifting dynamics present new challenges for P/CVE analysis, policy and practice, including how we identify, prevent or address emerging threats within this space.
This year’s symposium explores various dimensions of these shifting dynamics around people, places and spaces. Presentations will provide insights into what these emerging dynamics mean for violent extremism risk and threat analysis and their implications for policy and practitioner responses.”
Successful and Less Successful Components of Tertiary PVE Programs: A Systematic Review
The CPN-PREV, Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence and UNESCO Chair in Prevention of Radicalization and Violent Extremism invite you to the live presentation and discussion of CPN-PREV’s 3rd systematic review results.
Successful and less successful approaches in primary and secondary PVE programs : A systematic review
Date: November 25, 2021 from 2 PM to 3:30 PM (Eastern time)
The CPN-PREV, Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence and UNESCO Chair in Prevention of Radicalization and Violent Extremism invite you to the live presentation and discussion of CPN-PREV’s 2nd systematic review results. This discussion panel will explore the outcomes of primary and secondary PVE programs. At CPN-PREV, we analyzed the empirical literature on PVE programs in order to identify the overall effectiveness of preventative interventions and the components that were most often associated with success or failure in meeting program goals. The successes and iatrogenic effects of program components are discussed in order to promote a “do-no-harm” approach grounded in non-stigmatizing and non-oppressive practices.

From Coast to Coast: The Mapping of Canadian Prevention of Radicalization and Violent Extremism (P/CVE) Programs
Date: December 8, 2020 – 12:00PM-1:00 PM (Eastern Time)
The Canadian Practitioners Network for the Prevention of Radicalization and Extremist Violence (CPN-PREV) has recently conducted a mapping of secondary and tertiary prevention programs working in the context of radicalization and violent extremism in Canada and published an interactive map illustrating the key players across the country. This endeavor allowed CPN-PREV to:
Identify the main front-line players in the field of prevention of radicalization
Document key players’ practices & obtain an overview of their activities and reality on the ground
Better understand the challenges faced by Canadian organizations
Describe these organizations in terms of size, geographic location, sector of intervention, and the nature of their work.
During the event, we will present the highlights of the mapping research and the recommendations that resulted from it. Madison Reid, program manager of Shift BC will also share her experience and perspective on collaborations in the field of P/CVE in Canada.

Partnering in Practice: Preventing Social Polarizations
Date: November 30th – December 3rd, 2018 Location: 11613 87 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T6G 2H6
This conference was composed of two interrelated sections – the first section, Prevention in Practice, resembled a more traditional academic conference. The second section, Mind the Gap!, brought together practitioners from diverse sectors and youth leaders to engage in an interactive two-day exercise to facilitate connections and knowledge sharing between them. The activities were designed to create bridges by building trust between practitioners and youth as well as reflect on how our realities influence our personal trajectories by shaping our social identities. Prevention in Practice: National & International Approaches to P/CVE The conference bought together leading scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged with violent extremism. The primary goal of this conference was exchanging theoretical understandings from multiple disciplines and good practices related to the prevention of violent extremism across different disciplinary and geographic contexts. Mind the Gap! Youth and Practitioners Summit Youth are heavily targeted by all forms of extremism and hate speech. Many have profound and at times life-changing experiences of discrimination and exclusion and have, in this sense, a deep, existential knowledge of the dynamics of hate and extremism. Mind the Gap! Allowed the opening of dialogue between youth and practitioners. sectors such as funding agencies and academic based organisations.
