PROJECT BREAKTHROUGH

Agreement Number:

HT20382

Agreement Value:

$200,000.00

Agreement Date:

Feb 5, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 38-month project with the Sudbury and Area Victim Services/Services aux victimes du grand Sudbury (SAVS) will develop and implement promising practices through the design and implementation of the Holistic Arts-Based Program (HAP) to advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking in Northern Ontario. This will be achieved by 1) delivering the HAP through group facilitation in the Sudbury Area; 2) empowering youth to gain self-compassion, empathy, and effective coping strategies; and 3) delivering trauma-informed materials to youth groups. At the end of the project, the organization will have 1) delivered HAP to at-risk populations and survivors of human trafficking, including at-risk females and LGBTQ2S+ youth; 2) provided real-life skills training on mindfulness and self-awareness to youth; and 3) enhanced availability of trauma-informed bilingual materials in the Sudbury Area. The project will include an external evaluation that will look at the success and scalability of the promising practices.

The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
