Résumé
Through this 24-month project, Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated will develop and put in place the Heartbeat Trauma Release Method Therapy (HTR) with Indigenous girls, two spirit and trans youth experiencing gender-based violence to strengthen the GBV sector. The organization will work with their partners in the community and address the need to provide supports and services to Indigenous youth in Northern Saskatchewan who are at risk of perpetuating generational cycles of trauma and who struggle in their communities experiencing bullying, physical, mental, emotional abuse, and sexual exploitation. To do so, the project will include hiring and training of staff on the Heartbeat Trauma Release Method Therapy, recruitment of Indigenous participants, adapting the HTR method, offering one-on one counselling and group therapy through healing camps, collection of feedback and recommendations from participants and the external evaluator, the creation of a manual and hosting a gathering for all participants. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice throughout the lifecycle of the project. Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated will share the findings with the GBV Knowledge Centre and host a large gathering and invite all participants in all four cohorts to share their experiences while also sharing information on the promising practices so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 24 mois, le Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated élaborera et mettra en place la thérapie Heartbeat Trauma Release Method Therapy (HTR) avec les filles autochtones, les jeunes bispirituelles et bispituels, et les jeunes transgenres victimes de violence fondée sur le sexe, afin de renforcer le secteur de la lutte contre la VFS. L’organisme travaillera avec ses partenaires dans la communauté et répondra à la nécessité de fournir un soutien et des services aux jeunes autochtones du nord de la Saskatchewan qui risquent de perpétuer les cycles générationnels de stress et qui luttent dans leurs communautés contre l’intimidation, les abus physiques, mentaux et émotionnels et l’exploitation sexuelle. Pour ce faire, le projet comprendra le recrutement et la formation du personnel à la méthode de thérapie Heartbeat Trauma Release, le recrutement de participants autochtones, l’adaptation de la méthode HTR, l’offre de conseils individuels et de thérapies de groupe dans le cadre de camps de guérison, la collecte des réactions et des recommandations des participantes et participants de l’évaluateur externe, la création d’un manuel et l’organisation d’une réunion pour toutes les participantes et tous les participants. Un évaluateur externe mesurera et évaluera l’impact de la pratique prometteuse tout au long du cycle de vie du projet. Le Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated partagera les résultats avec le Centre du savoir sur la violence fondée sur le sexe, organisera une grande réunion et invitera toutes les participantes et tous les participants des quatre cohortes à partager leurs expériences ainsi que des informations sur les pratiques prometteuses afin qu’ils puissent les reproduire ou les développer.

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.
