Cros-Sectoral Solutions - Part 1 (Wednesday 12 February):
This presentation covers a 20-week program consisting of peer navigation, and support services of communication, yoga, occupational, music therapy, and more that was offered to 25 survivors. To evaluate the program outcomes, survivors completed surveys and participated in a focus group or interview to assess engagement and impact and offer insights into their experienced challenges and successes.
Learning objectives:
-
Understand the impact of peer support, service navigation, and flexible programming and services for survivors of GBV-BI
-
Share and acquire strategies for enhancing knowledge mobilization and sustainable community impact
Cross-Sectoral Solutions - Part 2 (Wednesday 18 February):
The intersecting experience of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Brain Injury (BI) is lacking research, public and survivor awareness, comprehensive policies, and supportive programming and resources, despite the commonality and complexity of this intersecting experience. WomenatthecentrE, alongside pan-Canada project partners, identified this gap in research, care and policy. Cross Sectoral Solutions, with funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada has adapted, piloted and evaluated an evidence-based, trauma-informed, interdisciplinary, and survivor led pilot program for GBV survivors with suspected BI. This presentation will showcase both the project, and highlight tools and resources that were developed as a survivor-led cross-disciplinary team, mobilizing our experiential and practice-based knowledge.
Learning objectives:
-
Understand the purpose and outcome of Cross Sectoral Solutions Initiative
-
Understand the development, purpose, and application of the Supporting Gender-Based Violence and Brain Injury Survivors Toolkit
-
Understand the development, purpose, and application of the Responding to Disclosures of Violence Toolkit.
