Abstract<br />

Two health and social services networks in Montréal have been developing<br />

and implementing a protocol to guide intersectoral collaboration in cases<br />

<strong>of</strong> children exposed to domestic violence. The protocol specifies four welldefined<br />

types <strong>of</strong> collaboration: the exchange <strong>of</strong> information, personalized<br />

references, personalized transfers and clinical exchanges. Participants in<br />

the protocol come from six different institutional and community sectors:<br />

shelters for women victims <strong>of</strong> domestic violence, services geared towards<br />

abusive partners, Health and <strong>Social</strong> Services Centres, youth centres, Service<br />

Côté Cour, and the Montreal Police Services. This exploratory study assesses<br />

the implementation <strong>of</strong> the protocol in these two networks. The results show<br />

that an in-depth knowledge <strong>of</strong> the mandates <strong>of</strong> the various organizations<br />

and <strong>of</strong> how they function in practice is key to facilitating the implementation<br />

<strong>of</strong> the protocol by the participants. The author recommends involving a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> participants who are familiar with the two organizational cultures<br />

in question (community and institutional) in order to further help develop a<br />

common language that would facilitate future efforts in collaboration.
