The Supporting Families and Caregivers after Gun Violence project will develop and pilot a family and caregiver support group for Black victims and survivors of crime impacted by gun violence, through a collaborative, trauma-infirmed, and culturally grounded approach. Co-created by the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) AMANI Mental Health & Substance Use Program staff, Wanasah and Black Creek Community Health Centre (BCCHC), the project pairs the grounded knowledge of community with the resource capacity of a large mental health organization with expertise in developing, delivering, and evaluating mental health services for Black youth and families. The project will also increase the capacity of service providers to provide trauma informed grief supports through incorporating training into module development and pairing social workers with community staff in group development and delivery, allowing for bidirectional sharing of knowledge and expertise.

The university will conduct a research study with the goal of improving the social and economic well-being of Black youth victims of crime through mentorship and wraparound service. The project will incorporate a participatory methodology, including the engagement of Black youth and undergraduates, employers, parents, and Black communities as agents of change.

The organization will provide the Holistic Ongoing Opportunities Development Facilitation and Management Services“HOODFAMS Roots of Strength” project to strengthen access to justice and culturally responsive support for Black youth and families aged 12 to 29 in Winnipeg who have experienced gang violence, assault, or other forms of interpersonal crime. Grounded in trauma-informed, community based and culturally anchored approaches, the project will respond to the complex realities faced by victims who are often marginalized within the justice system. The project will provide one-on one coordinated, culturally competent, and youth centred supports such as case coordination, trauma-informed counselling, legal and mental health referrals, crisis response supports, and community-based healing interventions.

The organization’s project will provide training for service providers and governments to provide Black-centred, survivor led, trauma and violence informed, culturally grounded, and accessible supports and services for Black victims and survivors of gender-based violence. By integrating trauma and violence-informed approaches with culturally grounded methodologies, the project will ensure that Black survivors are not only heard but meaningfully integrated in shaping the supports they receive.
