The New Brunswick Multicultural Council will achieve this by translating and further distributing culturally adapted DIPV and mental health resources, by scaling out their information and orientation sessions about healthy relationships and DIPV to new targeted groups and rural audiences, by expanding and delivering their culturally integrative training and tools to new DIPV interveners, and by producing a short film to raise awareness about healthy relationships for newcomer families.
