Description:
Through this 24-month project, Community-Based Research Centre Society (CBRC) will conduct a participatory arts-based community-led research project to improve GBV services for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in Fraser Health Authority, British Columbia. The project will address gaps in knowledge about 2SLGBTQIA+ survivors’ experiences and needs, as well as barriers to accessing 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming supports and services. It will include a literature review, an environmental scan, and trauma-informed arts-based group sessions facilitated by 2SLGBTQIA+ artist-researchers, supported by Indigenous Elders as well as clinicians. To mobilize research findings, CBRC will organize webinars as well as an arts exhibit featuring participants’ work and stories. It will also develop a service provider toolkit. The project will be conducted in collaboration with Health Initiative For Men (HIM). It will be guided by an Advisory and Accountability Committee made up of 2SLGBTQIA+ people impacted by GBV, with all staff, artists and contractors involved also being 2SLGBTQIA+ people.

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.
