Title
Development and Implementation of a 2SLGBTQ+ Competent Trauma-Informed Care Intervention across Ontario
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
2SLGBTQ+ people are more likely to experience violence and/or trauma than heterosexual or cisgender (i.e., non-trans) people. As many 2SLGBTQ+ people may be in need of support related to experiences of violence and/or trauma, it is important that health and social service providers have the ability to skillfully meet the needs of 2SLGBTQ+ people from a trauma-informed lens. However, research has shown that 2SLGBTQ+ people face barriers in accessing health and social services as a result of lack of 2SLGBTQ+ capacity from service providers or the organizations they work within.
Summary of the Innovation
The Building Competence, Building Capacity project developed a 2SLGBTQ+ competent trauma-informed care workshop to increase capacity among healthcare and social service providers delivering services to address violence and/or trauma across the province of Ontario. The curriculum was developed with a team of advisory committee members consisting of service providers across Ontario and an Indigenous Elder. Pilot workshops were delivered across Ontario in-person (one full-day) and online (two half-days), and evaluated for feasibility, acceptability, and scalability. Pre-and post-workshop surveys (n=225) were gathered for reaction, confidence, and knowledge. Lastly, interviews were conducted with participants (n=22), facilitators (n=4), and advisory committee members (n=6).
Conclusion
The workshop trained 294 multi-disciplinary service providers working in healthcare, mental health, social service, and anti-violence sectors. We reached 116 institutions, organizations, and services across Ontario. Participants indicated that they would like to see this workshop provided to their organizations, services, and institutions, as well as national expansion to healthcare and social service providers across Canada.
