Description:
The project aims to enhance the well-being of Indigenous women, girls, bi-spiritual, transgender, gender diverse + (WG2STGD+) people in accessing culturally relevant and trauma-informed family justice services across Canada. Native Women Association of Canada (NWAC) will develop two toolkits for professional training, informed by virtual roundtables and surveys involving Indigenous WG2STGD+ individuals and service providers. In the first year, NWAC will host two virtual roundtables and conduct surveys to gather grassroots perspectives and identify training needs. The insights will inform the creation of training resources in the second and third years, fostering Indigenous practices within the Family Justice System. Elders will guide the discussions to ensure cultural safety, and continuous feedback will be collected to refine the toolkits and adapt to evolving community needs.
