Research that is putting you first

Safe Research Practices with Indigenous and 2S LGBTQQIA+ People


This project aims to address gaps in how research is done within the community and how researchers can be better equipped to conduct safe research. Safe research is about acknowledging that people have been through difficult things, such as trauma or violence, and giving them the support they need to feel safe, respected, and understood.

Why TVIC?

Research is often a useful tool to support the identification of community needs and ensure they are addressed. By investing in TVIC (Trauma and Violence Informed Care) and Cultural Safety practices in research, we can establish more ethical guidelines and create better research experiences.
