Mitacs powers innovation by building partnerships with academia, industry, government and other organizations that benefit Canada and its economy.

The organization will offer a program for victims and survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, abuse and addictions that offers immediate safe and supported housing, a four-month life-skills program and individualized case planning and client support. The goals of the program are to encourage growth, build resilience and empower participants to become independent and safe individuals.

The Province of Nova Scotia will undertake several activities over five fiscal years to advance victim services and access to justice for victims, while giving victims a more effective voice in the criminal justice system in Nova Scotia. Planned activities include support services of an Indigenous Victim Case Worker; Victim Services Navigator Supports; and implementation of the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights through a designated Restitution Coordinator.

The organization will provide their Sex Trafficking Response Training to build a formalized network of service providers and responders to better support those affected by sex trafficking. The organization will collaborate with various sectors to provide this trauma-informed training to prosecutors, police, medical personnel and the Gender Based Violence (GBV) sector to improve the identification, investigation, prosecution and supports available to victims and survivors of sex trafficking. The goals of this network will be to build interagency collaboration as well as build survivor-centered and consistent response protocols throughout New Brunswick to ultimately support the well-being of victims and survivors of sex trafficking and improve their access to justice and services.

The organization will provide a comprehensive victim support program to deliver programs and individualized support plans for victims and survivors of human trafficking that focus on personal and professional development and support positive long-term outcomes. The organization will also implement organizational capacity building, both internally and externally, through low-to-no-cost training programs like Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, Mandt non-violent crisis intervention training, Mental Health First Aid and their Sex Work 101 capacity training. Additionally, their extended staff team will receive necessary training, so their program delivery is trauma-informed and tailored to the needs of the individual. The organization will engage in knowledge sharing and dissemination, to communicate best practices and continue to develop their community of care for program users and residents.

The project will publish the 4th French edition and the first English translation of Language Rights in Canada. This edition will provide a vital bilingual resource for practitioners and students of official language law.

The project will provide coordinated, trauma-informed support before, during, and after court, enabling survivors to maintain stability while equipping justice partners to respond with compassion and competence. The project will be embedded within the organization’s enhanced Next Step Network, making it a ‘day one’ ready program that will provide integrated, wraparound support for survivors in long-term stabilization. By situating the Court Support stream within this established program, the project will benefit from existing trauma-informed staffing, clinical oversight through the Nurse Practitioner-led clinic, and EMHware-based reporting and evaluation systems. This structure enables immediate implementation, simplified triage, and seamless continuity of care, ensuring survivors have consistent access to mental health, housing, and peer supports from crisis through recovery and justice engagement. The project will also extend access to survivors who have been criminalized, those charged within the context of their trafficking experience or later as a result of socioeconomic marginalization. By offering non-discriminatory, trauma-informed navigation, the project will ensure that all survivors, regardless of legal status, receive equitable care and connection to supports.
