Psychological maltreatment (PM) is now recognized as one of the most frequent and deleterious form of maltreatment against children. In Québec, they are considered in the Youth Protection Law as a reliable motive of report since 2007. Yet, we do not know what are the specific services offered when a report for PM is substantiated. The present study compares the services trajectories proposed to families with and without substantiated reports for PM.
