New Video and Brief Now Available

Sharing Settlement and Integration Practices that Work

We are excited to announce that a new video and brief on a promising practice in settlement and integration are now available on the P2P website. Funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), P2P’s Promising Practices project highlights promising practices in immigrant settlement and integration with an empirical basis for their effectiveness. This includes video interviews of those who developed and are administering the practices, and briefs that highlight the key aspects of the practices that make them effective and innovative.

Featured Practice

Roots of Safety

Organization: DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society

About the Program: Roots of Safety is a culturally responsive, trauma-informed safety and empowerment planning model designed for service providers working with immigrants and refugees impacted by gender-based violence. The model equips service providers with a structured yet adaptable framework to facilitate culturally appropriate conversations, enhancing clients’ safety while respecting their cultural backgrounds and circumstances. Central to its approach is the use of three columns, which guide clients to (1) identify their strengths, (2) outline the risks and challenges they face, and (3) collaboratively develop a personalized empowerment plan that links strengths directly to those challenges. The Roots of Safety training typically requires four hours, delivered in one or two sessions, and offers follow-up coaching and access to additional resources. The model is suitable for individuals from a range of professional and community backgrounds. While originally developed for gender-based violence contexts, Roots of Safety has also been used to support clients facing settlement challenges such as housing, employment, medical care, and community integration. It has also informed the Stories of Strength program, where trained community members deliver empowerment-based workshops tailored to their own communities.
