Helping Families Heal and Reconnect
FY 2021-22 · 2021-04-01
Summary
This 36-month project aims to enhance the well-being of non-offending Nunavut caregivers and improve the recovery and wellness of their children who have experienced a multitude of adverse childhood experiences, including gender-based violence (GBV). In collaboration with key stakeholders from institutional, non-governmental and private sector organizations, promising practices will be developed, piloted, and disseminated throughout Nunavut. These promising practices will also be integrated into the therapeutic model and referral systems of the Umingmak Centre, a Child and Youth Advocacy Centre based in Iqaluit, in order to better support, through a culturally sensitive approach, the needs of non-offending Inuit caregivers with trauma histories.
To achieve these goals, a needs assessment will identify evidence-based gaps in services for this clientele as well as advance knowledge on barriers to access them. This will also support the development of Inuit-specific approaches, including the creation of training materials and resources for dissemination, allowing caregivers of children who experience abuse to experience better social and health outcomes for themselves and their children.
An external evaluation will evaluate the success and scalability of the promising practices developed.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois vise à optimiser le bien-être des prestataires de soins non délinquants du Nunavut et à améliorer le rétablissement et le bien-être de leurs enfants qui ont vécu de multiples expériences négatives durant l’enfance, notamment la violence fondée sur le sexe. En collaboration avec les principales parties prenantes d’organismes institutionnels, non gouvernementaux et du secteur privé, des pratiques prometteuses seront élaborées, mises à l'essai et diffusées dans tout le Nunavut. Ces pratiques prometteuses seront également intégrées au modèle thérapeutique et aux systèmes d’orientation du Centre Umingmak, un centre de défense des enfants et des adolescents situé à Iqaluit, afin de mieux répondre, grâce à une approche qui tient compte de la culture, aux besoins des proches aidantes et des proches aidants inuites non délinquants ayant vécu des traumatismes.
Pour atteindre ces objectifs, une évaluation des besoins sera menée pour dégager les lacunes fondées sur des données probantes dans les services offerts à cette clientèle et faire progresser les connaissances sur les obstacles à l’accès à ces services. Elle permettra également de soutenir l’élaboration d’approches spécifiques aux Inuits, y compris la création de matériel de formation et de ressources à diffuser, permettant aux aidantes et aux aidants d’enfants victimes de violence d'obtenir de meilleurs résultats sociaux et de santé pour eux-mêmes et leurs enfants.
Une évaluation externe permettra d’étudier la réussite et l’évolutivité des pratiques prometteuses élaborées.
