Strengthening Trauma- and Violence-Informed Physical Activity Practices
Presenters: Dr. Francine Darroch, Candace Roberts, Jessica Webb, Sarita Hira, Maddy Sheppard-Perkins, Jensen Mortka and Elia Palladino
The Health and Wellness Equity Research Group will present ongoing and proposed research in the area of trauma informed approaches in health and healthcare. First, we will discuss the Taking Steps: Warrior Women’s Wellness, a trauma- and violence-informed physical activity program based in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Participants in this program and research were pregnant and/or parenting women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside with lived experiences of trauma, racism, and substance abuse. During this seminar we will share findings from this research and discuss key research strategies to scale up trauma informed approaches in the Ottawa context and beyond.
