Description:
Through this 11-month project, Covenant House Vancouver (CHV) will scale their No Wrong Door Approach to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale to frontline social service workers in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. It will reduce barriers and improve access to trauma-informed services for youth at-risk of or experiencing human trafficking and exploitation. To do so, the project will include co-producing online training modules, sharing these practical approaches and building stronger networks with community partners, and undertaking an awareness campaign to connect youth to supports. Covenant House Vancouver will provide tested resources and training across networks to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

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.
