Current Projects
Scaling Up
The Scaling up Trauma and Violence Informed Outreach with Women Affected by Violence project studies the process and impact of implementing a women-led, evidence-informed, strengths-based, trauma and violence informed outreach program with self-identifying women affected by gender-based violence in three different community contexts.
Women and Forced Migration
