Enhancing care for women and
girls affected by violence:
The Capacity Research Unit

At the Capacity Research Unit at UBC we are developing cutting edge strategies to improve care for some of Canada’s most marginalized women and girls. Led by Dr. Vicky Bungay, and in collaboration with community organizations, other researchers and students, we conduct community-engaged research and create opportunities to collaborate and share knowledge with communities, the public, other researchers, and policymakers.

Our work is guided by the following key tenets:

• Community-academic collaborations and partnerships with project stakeholder communities
• Ethical engagement with team members, participants and the communities with whom we work
• Trauma informed approaches to the development and implementation of innovative interventions
• Training and mentoring of the next generation of researchers

Your support will enable us to make further steps toward improving the health and lives of Canadians.
