Thrive Counselling Services Halton Inc.

Published purpose

Through this 30-month project, Thrive Counselling will scale an integrated service hub model for intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and human tracking survivors, to strengthen the GBV sector in Halton, Ontario. It will scale this service model which has shown to be successful delivering services that protect and empower survivors, including women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people experiencing violence in Peel and Waterloo in southern Ontario, as well as numerous locations across North America. To do so, the project will engage with stakeholders, identify delivery partners, adjust the model to address the intersectional needs of the diverse communities it will serve, develop integrated service hub sites, establish integrated services for victims and survivors, and evaluate the service hub. Thrive Counselling will document learning and make it available in their website, social media, and webinars, to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it. The supplemental funding will be used to increase knowledge mobilization by hosting an information sharing event on the best practices related to GBV hub models.
