L'ark Aan Syel Faamii: Supporting Indigenous LGBTQ2 Youth In Northern Saskatchewan
FY 2022-23 · 2023-03-15
Summary
Through this 13-month project, Metis Central Western Region II (MCWRII) will develop community-informed solutions to key barriers and gaps facing 2SLGBTQI+ communities in northern Saskatchewan.
This will be achieved through consultations with youth, families, partners, and the larger communities to identify the needs of Indigenous 2SLGBTQI+ youth. With support from OUTSaskatoon, MCWRII staff will be trained to assist youth and their allies in connecting to resources using a Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus) framework in line with Two-Spirit (2S) support, with a focus on mental health. Consultations with schools and community leadership will also occur, alongside a review of policies with partner organizations. MCWRII will collaborate with schools to pilot a Gender and Sexuality Alliance (GSA) program to provide support to youth and educate staff, the community, and families about sexual and gender diversity. MCWRII will create awareness and resources using digital storytelling and photovoice to allow youth and their allies to share their lived experiences within the project. Through this project, MCWRII will also engage with funders, government, and other stakeholders to seek long-term solutions to the system gaps identified and will create a manual for 2SLGBTQI+ supports and resources.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet d’une durée de 13 mois, Metis Central Western Region II (MCWRII) élaborera des solutions communautaires aux principaux obstacles et lacunes auxquels font face les communautés 2ELGBTQI+ du nord de la Saskatchewan.
Pour ce faire, on consultera les jeunes, les familles, les parties prenantes et les grandes collectivités afin de cerner les besoins des jeunes autochtones 2ELGBTQI+. Avec le soutien d’OUTSaskatoon, le personnel de MCWRII sera formé pour aider les jeunes et les personnes alliées à accéder aux ressources à l’aide d’un cadre d’Analyse comparative entre les sexes Plus (ACS Plus) conforme au soutien deux esprits (2E) et en mettant l’accent sur la santé mentale. Des consultations avec les écoles et les décisionnaires communautaires auront également lieu, parallèlement à un examen des politiques qui sera effectué avec les organismes partenaires. MCWRII collaborera avec les écoles pour mettre à l’essai un programme de la Gender and Sexuality Alliance qui permettra afin d’offrir du soutien aux jeunes et de sensibiliser le personnel, la communauté et les familles à la diversité sexuelle et de genre. MCWRII créera de la sensibilisation et des ressources en utilisant la narration numérique et la recherche par amorce photo pour permettre aux jeunes et aux personnes alliées de parler des expériences vécues dans le cadre du projet.
