About this site
About
If you have been the victim of a crime, you may have just learned that the accused has been found unfit to stand trial or not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder.
We have created this site for you and those close to you.
Whether you know the person who committed the crime or not, what you are currently going through can be complicated and very difficult. This is to be expected. Recovering from a crime or seeing someone we love suffering the consequences of victimization demands energy and courage.
Your rights
You have rights. The purpose of this site is to help you ensure those rights are respected before the Commission d’examen des troubles mentaux or CETM.
Information
Dealing with the CETM means becoming familiar with a tribunal that is little known to the general public. If you are apprehensive about the process, take the time to get informed. Having the information you need will give you tools to help you to deal with a situation that is unfamiliar to you.
Assistance
Do you need:
- to talk about what you’re going through?
- an explanation of the judicial process?
- support in your dealings with the CETM?
There are resources that can help you. Many are free. Don’t hesitate to contact them.
This site is an initiative of Plaidoyer Victimes.
The mission of Plaidoyer Victimes is to collectively defend the rights and interests of persons who have been the victim of a criminal offence.
