North Point Douglas Women’s Centre, Winnipeg
Designed by an Anishinaabe woman from Winnipeg, this program centres on Indigenous teaching and ceremonies to facilitate healing for women who have experienced domestic violence. The program will be introduced to women in the community three times over the year, and will mentor community facilitators in its delivery. Women who previously participated in the program will have the opportunity to share their experiences and develop new skills as facilitators. The Canadian Department of Justice has recognized this 10-week program as a promising practice to reduce violence and increase safety for Indigenous women
