Description
"A series of case studies was conducted as part of the impact evaluation of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation (AHF). A case study provides a holistic, in-depth view of a project and its outcomes. The project that forms this study is sponsored by the Urban Native Youth Association (UNYA) in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is entitled, “Two-Spirited Youth Program” (AHF file #CT-302-BC). It targets youth who self-identify as being two-spirited or gay, bisexual, lesbian, or transgendered. In the application for funding, the program is described as “bringing together Two-Spirited Aboriginal youth in a regular, weekly group setting. The youth, with the help and support of two group facilitators, will be in the company of their peers, share their common experiences, and gain empowerment through group discussions, counselling and role modelling.” The project also includes a public education component with specific attention being paid to the intergenerational impacts of residential schools.” (Case Study Report: Two-Spirited Youth Program, page 1).
