The CRIPHASE invites you to explore an important scholarly article published in the Canadian Journal of Career Development, which examines a topic that remains largely overlooked: the relationship to work among men who experienced sexual abuse in childhood or adolescence.

Authored by researchers from the University of Ottawa and the Université du Québec à Montréal — André Samson, Marie-Pier Bastien, Natasha Chénier-Ayotte, Jean-Martin Deslauriers, Natacha Godbout, and Zacharie Saint-Georges — the article sheds light on the specific challenges these men face in their professional lives. It highlights how early trauma can affect self-esteem, career choices, and interactions with authority in the workplace.

This is an essential read for anyone seeking to better understand the psychosocial and professional realities of the men we support.
