Title:

YAWC's Indigenous Case Management and Referal System Implementation Project

Agreement Number:

YT21879

Agreement Value:

$158,700.00

Agreement Date:

Oct 28, 2021 - Aug 28, 2023

Description:

This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery to address the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Yukon Aboriginal Women’s Council will achieve this by developing an Indigenous case management and referral system including territorial mapping of support services, a case management manual, a digital client database and a referral tracking process, that is culturally and contextually relevant. The system will complement existing collaborations between community networks, expand and create new strategic partnerships while simultaneously assisting front line staff to provide culturally relevant referrals. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality. This project will build and enhance partnerships with regional social services by developing and sharing knowledge and resources on best practices for supporting Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse peoples.
