Overcoming organizational challenges to advance equity

Organizations are working to advance equity, use trauma-informed practice, and apply an anti-racism and anti-oppression approach. We can learn from these organizations. In this session, we will hear from organizations who have collaborated in Belleville, Ontario to create and sustain a drop-in centre. This centre addresses inequitable access to essential resources experienced by communities. We will hear about insights from these partnerships and relationships, and ways in which these organizations have been able to overcome barriers like uncertainty, fear and risk aversion.
