Agreement Date:

Oct 1, 2023 - Sep 30, 2025

Description:

Through this 24-month project, the Native Counselling Services of Alberta (NCSA) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQ2 people, with a focus on Indigenous women and girls. This will be achieved by developing an Intimate Partner Violence Best Practices manual for staff and community partners to address issues to combat intimate partner violence. Working groups will be developed to engage in the design and development of curriculum and learning resources that address the needs and gaps identified, including input and feedback from participants with lived personal experiences to address the impacts of colonialism, racism, and intimate partner violence. Discussions will be facilitated to share the findings with staff and developing strategies for incorporating the knowledge into practice. By the end of the project, NCSA will have strengthened their internal capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQ2 people by partnering with multisectoral organizations for collaborative and advocacy skills and incorporating knowledge into practice through the creation of a training manual and to support ongoing learning and development of its staff.
