Trauma informed care to Promote Mental Health Equity for ACB LGBTQIA+ Community
The aim of this project is to address the counselling mental health needs of African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) 2SLGBTQI+ community members who are experiencing mental health issues. Community members will be supported through a range of program activities, including one-to-one supports, brief solution focused supports and referrals; as well as group programming to address mental health and Harm reduction, which will be complemented by peer-based supports. This project builds on existing evidenced-based trauma models to deliver trauma-informed services in an environment where service users do not experience further (re)traumatization, and where they can make decisions about their mental health and HIV-related needs at a pace that feels safe to them. The goal is to strengthen a trauma-informed model of care that is responsive to the needs and lived experience of ACB populations that can be scaled up.
