Since the coming into force of the Youth Protection Act (YPA), the Court of Québec (Youth Division) has only issued a small number of decisions declaring that the rights of a child have been violated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, children's rights violations continue to occur. Considering that enforcement of children's rights is critical to the YPA, it being closely tied to the legislation's objective, the author examines these type of decisions by analyzing jurisprudence from the last decade while bringing up certain elements for thought. Firstly, the article discusses the notion of children's rights violation as well as the possible recourses in the event thereof. Secondly, it examines recent decisions, focusing on the type of rights that have been violated, defenses that have been brought forward and corrective measures ordered by the tribunal. The author highlights issues, introduces distinctions and attempts to clarify certain obligations of the different parties involved. A large and liberal interpretation regarding the violation of children's rights is generally proposed, specifically while considering corrective measures.

The Sisters of Providence, owners of the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu asylum since 1873, renewed their second contract with the Quebec government in 1924. Over the next fifty years, they undertook to feed, maintain, treat and rehabilitate mental patients. During the 1940s and 1950s the inter-personal and inter-professional relations between the sisters and a group of young psychiatrists, so-called modernists, became difficult. The proper therapeutic climate fell victim to political interests within the institution. These tensions are explicitly revealed in 1962 in the Bédard Report on the study of psychiatric hospitals in Quebec. Information about the tensions between the sisters and the psychiatrists from the Second World War until the 1970s, has long been ignored in historical discourse, thus failing until now to reveal all aspects or consequences related to care of the mentally ill. It is this important struggle around the religious status of Saint-Jean-de-Dieu that we intend to highlight in this article.

This article reports the results of a qualitative research aimed at understanding how facilitators of male domestic violence groups consider fathering in their interventions with these men. Group discussions and interviews were conducted with facilitators working in three organisations in Quebec and New Brunswick. According to those facilitators, it is difficult to integrate fathering in their interventions. The numerous difficulties experienced by the men (non-recognition of their violence, violence experienced during childhood, frustrations toward the systems, and mental health or addiction problems), lack of time, tools and education and questions regarding security, complicate exploration of fathering in these groups.

Rural men form a group particularly vulnerable to health problems such as suicide and psychological distress and rarely use health services. Like any social health inequality, this situation is a challenge regarding many values of social work. Despite the worrying portrait, rural men's psychological health remains largely neglected in Québec, like in most of the industrialized countries, which contributes to its invisibility. This paper aims to a better understanding of the objective and subjective realities that influence their psychological health. It presents the main paradigms used to understand rural masculinities and suggests future directions for research.
