Men’s Helpline: Intervention and Support Response Pilot in Nova Scotia

NA20270

$34,500.00

Sep 21, 2020 - Apr 21, 2021

Nova Scotia’s 211NS Men’s Intervention and Support Response Pilot Program is initiating a program to offer 6-months of extended support to men dealing with life challenges, with a particular focus on response to domestic, family and gender-based violence (GBV). This 7-month project will gather learning, share lessons learned and contribute to inform the next steps for Nova Scotia and other provinces and territories in Canada on strategies to engage men as a means to reduce GBV by conducting research on the initial implementation of this pilot service, specifically by engaging men at risk of using violence in their relationships in services designed to assess, monitor, manage and reduce use of abusive behaviours; by mapping and analyzing the service landscape relevant to men and boys who may be seeking assistance in developing healthy and safe relationships; and by engaging local service providers in providing feedback on the successes and challenges of the pilot program and in considering the service landscape for men and boys in Nova Scotia.
