This 18-month project will provide peer support to 100 South Asian women in the Malton and Mississauga regions who are experiencing COVID-19 challenges and losses related to health and well-being, economic security, social and cultural connections, domestic violence, and community resource navigation. 10 Women Peer Ambassadors will be recruited and trained in the areas of peer support; leadership and civic engagement; mental health and well-being; financial literacy, entrepreneurship; digital literacy; gender-based discrimination, domestic violence; and community resource navigation. Leveraging the learnings from the trainings, inputs collected from project beneficiaries and knowledge exchanges with partner organizations, the Peer Ambassadors will develop a ‘Framework to Provide Peer Support to Women Experiencing Challenges Related to COVID-19’. Through online individualized and group peer support sessions, these trained Women Peer Ambassadors will support and empower South Asian women by providing them with the knowledge, tools, and resource linkages to build resilience and capacity to deal with the aftermath of COVID-19.

This 48-month project with Action Coalition on Human Trafficking Alberta Association will develop and implement promising intervention practices that will advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking in rural and northern Alberta.

This will be achieved by working with identified organizations to expand education and training on human trafficking; building community capacity by engaging and supporting rural and northern Alberta’s community members to deliver training resources and workshop materials, providing awareness and education on human trafficking; and collecting reports of human trafficking for a comprehensive and coordinated response for service providers and partners during the awareness and training activities.

At the end of the project, the organization will have collected data, engaged with law enforcement, health care providers, frontline service providers, Indigenous-serving organizations and the community to provide them with awareness and education on human trafficking so that survivors can be appropriately identified and access supports and services in a more streamlined way, to prevent survivors of human trafficking from falling between the cracks.

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

Supplemental funding will be used to translate documents on addressing human trafficking, continue developing partnerships, train staff, and strengthen engagement with the Indigenous community.

This 36-month project with the Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association will develop and implement an Indigenous youth led, culturally relevant prevention training and education program that will advance knowledge, awareness and empower at-risk Indigenous youth and Indigenous survivors of human trafficking in Alberta.

This will be achieved by assessing gaps in knowledge concerning human trafficking and developing a culturally relevant workshop curriculum; training and empowering Indigenous youth to become facilitators and community advocates of human trafficking prevention; and virtual workshops and engagement with Indigenous youth delivered by peers.

At the end of the project, the organization will honour the workshop participants with a completion ceremony and encourage Indigenous youth to be agents of change to shift the course of human trafficking in Alberta. They will develop social media public service announcements based on what the workshop participants learned and the community impact, to be shared beyond the project and increase awareness for Indigenous peoples.

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

This 36-month project aims to enhance the well-being of non-offending Nunavut caregivers and improve the recovery and wellness of their children who have experienced a multitude of adverse childhood experiences, including gender-based violence (GBV). In collaboration with key stakeholders from institutional, non-governmental and private sector organizations, promising practices will be developed, piloted, and disseminated throughout Nunavut. These promising practices will also be integrated into the therapeutic model and referral systems of the Umingmak Centre, a Child and Youth Advocacy Centre based in Iqaluit, in order to better support, through a culturally sensitive approach, the needs of non-offending Inuit caregivers with trauma histories.

To achieve these goals, a needs assessment will identify evidence-based gaps in services for this clientele as well as advance knowledge on barriers to access them. This will also support the development of Inuit-specific approaches, including the creation of training materials and resources for dissemination, allowing caregivers of children who experience abuse to experience better social and health outcomes for themselves and their children.

An external evaluation will evaluate the success and scalability of the promising practices developed.
