From knowledge to practice.
This is a collection of frameworks, toolkits, guides, and practical resources shaped by research, lived experience, and practice. These resources are designed to support thoughtful, relational, and equity-oriented ways of working helping translate knowledge into approaches that can be used, adapted, and shared across different contexts.
Explore resources that support more trauma-informed, strengths-based, relational, and inclusive practice, with a focus on creating conditions for meaningful participation, connection, and change.

Trauma and Resiliency Informed Practices (TRiP) Training for Researchers and Evaluators
The TRiP Training is designed such that TRiP practices are integrated within the structure and modeled by the facilitators. Prior to gathering, registrants receive the slide deck and a care page with resources, along with some expectation-setting. The latter is expanded upon in the session to reify acknowledgements of accessibility and comfort during long online learning (e.g. an attendee knitted while in-session). The pace of the workshops is progressive, starting slowly and building momentum throughout, with invitations to engage and contribute throughout in ways that feel comfortable and comforting to attendees (e.g. chat, verbal, video on/off).
Part 1 focuses on self-compassionate practices, acknowledging and addressing how researchers and evaluators internalize the systems and structures we work within, including critical appraisal of studies into critical inner voices. The training promotes self-compassion as foundational to activate the resilience necessary to learn how to establish and sustain caring connections.
Part 2 focuses on compassion for others, acknowledging and addressing how health care and research systems work with people who experience traumas, stigmas and biases within them. The training encourages trauma awareness and relational approaches as integral to good science.
BC brings strengths-based perspectives into accounting for ongoing harms in how research and evaluation are conducted, and into responding to ongoing inequities. Their commitments are aligned with WHRI’s dedication to promoting a culture of good science, as good science requires good care, and good care is responsive.

Advancing Gender-Inclusive Health Research
|
At the Partnership for Women’s Health Research Canada (PWHR), we recognize that advancing women’s health research requires being inclusive of the full spectrum of sex and gender diversity. Beyond the Binary in Canada is an ongoing initiative involving health researchers, people who experience gender-based health inequities, research administrators and staff, members of research ethics boards, and research partners from across Canada. With these collaborators, PWHR has facilitated the development of the Beyond the Binary in Canada Guide (available in English and French), which provides nationally relevant, community-informed guidance that enables researchers to conduct gender-inclusive health research |

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion with Tapestry
|
Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are foundational to effective, impactful and sustainable health research. EDI considerations ensure that:
Health research appropriately reflects the diversity of needs and experiences of the populations the research aims to serve. Research participants are engaged authentically. Research outcomes can benefit everyone accessing healthcare, especially those who have been historically underserved. The resources on this page are not designed to be prescriptive, nor do they contain formulaic answers to complex questions in EDI work. Instead, they present a variety of perspectives about how EDI considerations apply to various institutions of work, research and learning, and introduce practical tools to guide integration of these considerations in everyday life. Meaningful change extends beyond meeting compliance standards and checking boxes. We hope the resources on this page provide valuable beacons to guide anyone interested in embedding EDI considerations into their work and daily lives, helping us work towards equity collectively. |
