Community-Based Primary Prevention Supports: Capacity-Building Groups for GBV Prevention for and by Ethnocultural Leaders
FY 2023-24 · 2023-11-10
Summary
Through this 29-month project, Association for the Alberta Network of Immigrant Women (ANIW) will scale its Well-being Group (WBG) for Latino immigrant men to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale it to men and women in additional ethnocultural communities, as well as to couples from these communities that have been identified as being of highest priority.
It will address the need for ethnoculturally appropriate and relevant promising and evidence-based primary violence prevention programs. To do so, the project will adapt WBG training materials for delivery to new population groups; engage, train, and support cultural peers to facilitate the project’s WBG group sessions; evaluate the applicability and impact of facilitator onboarding training; and form a Learning Collaborative which will share knowledge, build collective capacity, and support a developmental project evaluation process. ANIW will develop infographics, community reports, and social media content and host events and webinars to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.
The project will partner with Alberta Men’s Network (AMN) and the University of Calgary (U of C) to leverage expertise and networks. AMN has extensive experience in engaging men for social change and will utilize their community networks and social media platforms to assist with project recruitment, knowledge dissemination, and public engagement. U of C will leverage their social transformation research expertise to oversee the design, implementation, and analysis of the scaled WBG program and its developmental evaluation.
Additional funding from the supplement will support activities in a new community.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 29 mois, l’ANIW (Association for the Alberta Network of Immigrant Women) étendra la portée de son groupe de mieux-être aux immigrants latinos afin de renforcer le secteur de la prévention de la VFS. Sa portée sera étendue aux hommes et aux femmes de cinq communautés ethnoculturelles (bhoutanaise; éthiopienne; philippine; iranienne; népalaise), ainsi qu’aux couples de trois de ces communautés.
Il comblera le besoin en programmes prometteurs, factuels et adaptés sur le plan ethnoculturel dans la prévention de la violence primaire. Pour ce faire, dans le cadre du projet, on adaptera le matériel de formation du groupe de mieux-être pour en assurer la prestation à de nouveaux groupes démographiques; on mettra à contribution, on formera et on appuiera des homologues des communautés ethnoculturelles quant à l’animation des séances du groupe de mieux-être; on évaluera la pertinence et l’effet de la formation d’intégration des personnes à l’animation; et on constituera un exercice d’apprentissage en collaboration qui permettra de transmettre le savoir, de raffermir la capacité collective et d’appuyer un processus d’évaluation du projet en évolution. L’ANIW préparera des infographies, des rapports communautaires et du contenu destiné aux médias sociaux, puis elle tiendra des événements et des webinaires pour transmettre les renseignements à d’autres personnes qui, à leur tour, pourront en assurer la diffusion tels quels ou après les avoir étoffés.
Le projet se déroulera en partenariat avec l’AMN (Alberta Men’s Network) et l’Université de Calgary (Université de Calgary) pour tirer parti de leur savoir-faire et de leurs réseaux. Fort d’une vaste expérience dans la mise à contribution des hommes pour favoriser le changement social, l’AMN fera appel à ses réseaux communautaires et à ses plateformes de médias sociaux pour participer au recrutement, à la diffusion des connaissances et la mise à contribution du public dans le cadre du projet. Pour sa part, l’Université de Calgary mettra à profit son savoir-faire en recherche sur la transformation sociale lorsque viendra le temps de superviser la conception, la mise en œuvre et l’analyse du programme amplifié du groupe du mieux-être et d’en évaluer l’épanouissement.
Une partie de ce financement supplémentaire servira à appuyer la mise en œuvre d’activités dans une nouvelle collectivité.

Program Purpose
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.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Programme de financement de la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (le Programme) vise à renforcer la lutte contre la violence fondée sur le sexe (VFS) et, en particulier, à remédier au manque de soutien pour deux catégories de survivantes et survivants, soit : 1) les femmes autochtones et leurs communautés; et 2) les populations sous-desservies au Canada (notamment les femmes handicapées, les femmes réfugiées, immigrantes ou en situation irrégulière, les personnes allosexuelles et les femmes des minorités ethnoculturelles). Il s’agit d’un programme de subventions et contributions pour les organismes canadiens qui mènent des projets visant à améliorer les mesures d’aide offertes et à créer des solutions durables et complètes à l’échelle nationale, régionale et locale.
