It will increase awareness about domestic violence, cultural safety and family violence. To do so, the project will partner with Sagesse and Multicultural Health Brokers Cooperative to create an Advisory Committee and will hold community meetings, cultural safety workshops, and peer support sessions. Alliance Jeunesse Famille de l'Alberta Society will have a large community forum to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Program Purpose:
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.
