This 43-month project with Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of British Columbia will develop and implement Indigenous-led, community-based, culturally-rooted anti-human trafficking approaches, practices and materials to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk Indigenous populations and survivors of human trafficking throughout British Columbia.

This will be achieved by establishing Indigenous lived-experience youth panel, identifying high risk communities, engaging communities, organizing consultations and trainings, as well as developing materials to be used by anti-human trafficking service providers in Indigenous communities.

At the end of the project, the organization will have engaged the communities, utilized Indigenous community-led approaches, conducted consultations to identify needs and solutions for building protection and prevention, determined further support, and developed anti-human trafficking materials for Indigenous communities.

The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.

The supplemental funds will be used to hold community sessions in schools and Indigenous communities to provide workshops on the HT curriculum that was developed.

This 13-month project will provide training, tools and resources to better equip frontline service providers with the ability to respond in a Northwest-Territories-contextualized trauma- and violence-informed approach to family and sexual violence. Stakeholder groups will be engaged and consulted, needs assessment formed and resources created. Resources will reach across the Northwest Territories and motivate uptake by service providers and partners. Consistent and relevant information will be accessible through workshops, written materials and web-based resources. During the course of this project, feedback and evaluation of resources will be reviewed and updated.
