 Analysis of the implementation of the Caring Dads program in the Quebec context and the changes observed among participants 
The Caring Dads (CD) program was created in Ontario to support fathers who perpetrate domestic violence in developing child-centered and abuse free relationships with their children and their children’s mother. The present article documents the implementation of the French version of that program in a Quebec context. An ecological perspective was adopted to determine the contextual and organizational factors that influenced this implementation. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight participants, four of their intimate partners, four practitioners, and two organization coordinators. The results revealed several factors that facilitated or constrained the program’s implementation. The program’s relevance, as perceived by the organization members, and the intervention team’s strengths were both identified as key facilitators. The psychoeducational and structured contents, the monitoring procedures and the content adaptation to the new environment presented certain challenges. Several changes were reported by the fathers, including a better understanding of their children needs, the cessation of violent behaviour, and a better father-child relationship. The results pointed to difficulties in implementing highly structured programs in organizations with a flexible intervention approach, in retaining participants, and in integrating this type of program in a larger service provision system.
