Burnaby Family Life Institute

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, Burnaby Family Life will scale the MANifest Change/Young Men Leading Change Program to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale to males who identify with one or more of the following communities Indigenous, LGBTQ2SIA+, low income, black or racialized, newcomer, immigrant, and/or persons with disabilities. It will address the gap in service opportunities for support, empowerment and the development of healthy male identities. To do so, the project will establish programming involving racialized/immigrant males in reducing violence against women in alignment with the MANifest Change model/framework, and engage males in ways that address survivors' safety, justice, and healing needs. Burnaby Family Life will create a toolkit and evaluation to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.
