Through this 30-month project, the Kaleo Collective (KC) aims to expand the reach of the Single Mom Resource Course (SMRC) to strengthen of the GBV sector. This project will address the ongoing challenges faced by single mothers, including the challenges associated with all types of violence, emotional and financial poverty. Through this initiative, single mothers will acquire the tools to address their own trauma, establish healthy relationship patterns, develop problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills, boost self-esteem, and enhance their sense of self-worth, all of which will contribute to improved family communication and overall health of the family unit.

To achieve these goals, the project will involve the establishment and reinforcement of partnerships to support program delivery, as well as a review and update of existing policies and training frameworks in collaboration with partners. This collaborative effort will engage, empower single mothers, equipping them with essential skills and resilience, while helping them recognize their potential through this program. KC will also carry out surveys and debriefing sessions to evaluate the effectiveness of their program delivery. The knowledge, insights and outcome gained from this project will be shared with community working groups and other organizations as best practices that can be replicated or expanded upon.

Through this 30-month project, the Health Equity Alliance of Nova Scotia (HEAL NS) will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. ACNS will address increasing its own 2SLGBTQI+ capacity generally, but especially queer women’s communities not traditionally served, and transgender communities for whom they recently began developing targeted programming. It will address intersectionality regarding cultural competency and safety for ACNS to be better able to serve Indigenous, racialized, and new immigrant, and disabled individuals and community members.

The project will include a provincial 2SLGBTQIA+ Health and Healthcare Access Needs Survey, designed to clarify existing patterns and challenges to inform future programs and initiatives, the development of capacity and resources for a future 2SLGBTQIA+ Cultural Competency Training Program for healthcare workers, the strengthening of IT technical expertise to better utilize web and social resources, and the building of a robust fund development capacity to support future work.

Through this 30-month project, Maskan Family Association (MFA) will scale the Leading Change curriculum to strengthen the GBV sector. It will address intergenerational domestic violence, specifically within immigrant communities in Edmonton and Calgary. To do so, the project activities include the revision of the existing materials with partners to inform and develop a culturally relevant and responsive version of the Leading Change curriculum for immigrant youth, engaging and empowering immigrant youth to identify their potential to create and lead change through discussions, workshops, training, an ongoing Community of Practice, and meetings with various stakeholders and team members. Prevention strategies on domestic violence will be developed and implemented in Edmonton and Calgary. MFA will collaborate with the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters (ACWS) and other community stakeholders on various project activities. Furthermore, an external evaluator will develop an evaluation framework and complete a final project evaluation when the project ends. MFA will also produce a Final Report that they will share with WAGE’s GBV Learning Centre, and other organizations through a Media Release and Impact Report to disseminate their findings on the scaling of this promising practice so that others may replicate it or expand upon it.

BIPOC USHR PEI Inc. will create a report, infographics, and a social media campaign to share information on the research findings.
