Project Description: The objective of research is: Collect inclusive community feedback on service gaps and better response procedures throughout the community of Yellowknife. Increase awareness of family violence issues, preventions, and response procedures. Build community partnerships among agencies and departments responding to family violence. Develop an integrated response to family violence by service providers and government departments. Interviews will be conducted in Yellowknife with at least 20 frontline service providers (NGO and government personnel). In addition two planning/ consultation workshops will be held in each of Yellowknife, Norman Wells, and Fort Resolution. The workshops will consider the nature of family violence in the community, current responses to victims of family violence and the extent of collaboration and clarity that exists. The workshops will also engage community members and key agencies in developing an interagency protocol and resources material. The results will be delivered to the communities in the second workshop to verify and gain input in the adoption of the interagency protocol and tool kit. The study will be conducted at Deline, Yellowknife and Fort Resolution
