Violence against children is the expression of an abuse of power by an adult over a child or even by a child over a more vulnerable one.
Through an effective and recognized approach and teaching methods, the ESPACE program informs and equips children aged 3 to 12 in the prevention of violence.
In addition to the ESPACE program, the Regroupement des organismes ESPACE du Québec and its members are developing a multitude of violence prevention tools for children and adults.
