Inspired by the “Stop It Now!” helpline, created in 2002 in the United Kingdom, Ça suffit is its Quebec adaptation. Stop It Now! UK was founded thanks to the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, a child protection charity working to reduce the risk of sexual abuse among children. The Ça suffit team worked in collaboration with Stop It Now! UK to offer a French-language version of their content. We would like to thank Mr. Stuart Allardyce, Director of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation and Stop It Now! Scotland, as well as Mr. Donald Findlater, Director of Stop It Now! UK and Ireland.

Ça suffit is also inspired by the Dunkelfeld prevention project (In the Shadows, in French). Launched in 2005 in Germany, this project aimed to prevent sexual offenses against children based on the premise that a person is not responsible for their sexual preferences, but rather for their behavior.

As in Europe, our aim is to ensure that men with sexual interests in minors receive the appropriate support to prevent them from acting on these desires. Our services are also available to anyone else experiencing distress related to sexual fantasies.

To achieve this, the Ça suffit team is composed of five sexologists, criminologists, and social workers who actively participated in its adaptation and implementation in Quebec. This Canadian first is currently the only helpline dedicated to this clientele in North America.

To help men struggling with problematic interests, Ça suffit offers various services:

● ​A free and anonymous helpline where you can be heard without judgment
● ​Online self-help modules to help you manage your problematic sexual interests
