Mi’kmaw Legal Support Network: Court worker mental Health and Wellness Training project will bring together 25 court service team members, including Elders and knowledge keepers for a 3-day mental health first aid training and cultural activity.

To do this, the organization will first prepare a plain-language guide for healthcare professionals on interpreting and applying the Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People (SOC) in Quebec.

The first training is a 2-day session for all 22 Indigenous courtworkers and will focus on the health and well-being of court workers across the province of Quebec.

The initiative proposes a systemic inquiry approach to enhance institutional capabilities for implementing gender-responsive NBSAPs in five primary focus countries, strengthening partnerships between ministries, women's rights organizations, research institutions and other key stakeholders, and contributing to knowledge generation on the linkages between gender equality and biodiversity conservation.
