Description:

Through this 31-month project the Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia will develop, implement and evaluate a Restorative Approach in Multiple Proceedings (RAMP) model that will strengthen the Gender Based Violence Sector. Partnering with the Restorative Research, Innovation and Education Lab at Dalhousie University, and community and justice sector collaborators they will build a process that empowers and supports families impacted by Gender Based Violence to identify their needs related to safety and wellbeing and develop plans to meet these needs. RAMP will facilitate system and service stakeholders’ collaboration in support of these plans by building their capacity to work in more responsive, integrated and holistic ways. Specifically, the project will facilitate support teams and work collaboratively with partner agencies, identify and shape family-led restorative pathways, develop education and training to support system change, gather learnings through a formative evaluation and develop a knowledge dissemination strategy.

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.
