Brief Summary

This mixed methods, community-based study examines the implementation and outcomes of the Community-Led Outreach and Engagement Model (CLOE) for women and youth affected by violence. Outreach services are designed to mitigate the effects of gender-based violence, build trusting relationships with service providers, and improve safety, well-being and engagement with health and social care. Over a 2-year implementation period, we will test how outreach, combined with enhanced service integration, supports participants to identify priority needs and can bridge the gap in accessible and appropriate service with people affected by violence.
