A word from our Executive Director
For the past six years, the Marie-Vincent Foundation has actively supported Centre d’expertise Marie-Vincent, a unique and innovative resource that has already emerged as a national and international leader in the development of services, treatment options, and state-of-the-art tools for sexually abused children aged 12 and younger and their families. Thanks to its ultramodern and adapted facilities the Centre is becoming a leader and reference in its field of expertise, not only here in Québec but more recently at an international level. In addition, fundraising activities enable the Foundation to pursue its mission and support other organizations that provide assistance to children aged 12 and younger who are victims of maltreatment. In recent years, many organizations across Quebec have benefited from the Foundation’s financial support, allowing them to perform their respective missions. Dear board and staff members, partners, donors, and volunteers, you are all dedicated to our special cause in support of children who are mistreated. The commitment and devotion you show day after day feeds our passion and motivation to pursue our mission of meeting the needs of young victims of maltreatment and their families. It is through determination, commitment, and perseverance that we will succeed in enhancing the wellbeing of maltreated children in Quebec and elsewhere. Thank you for being there for us. Thank you for being there for our children. Lucie Joyal, M.A.P.
