Description:
Through this 15 - month systemic change project, Alberta Council of Women's Shelters will help advance women’s equality. The project will scale the assessment tool created in a previous project funded by WAGE to address gaps in supports for underserved groups experiencing gender-based violence (GBV). It will scale to rural and remote communities with a focus on Indigenous women and children. The project will address the need for intersectional, survivor-centred, trauma and violence informed assessment tools to support frontline service, and foundational education and training for service providers. To do so, the project will hold regional knowledge exchanges, evaluate readiness and identify community need, and implement assessment tools to rural communities
