We’re building some big ideas and we think you can help.
You’re here because you believe deeply in helping others and you know the fundamental role accessible mental health care plays in building strong communities. You recognize the many barriers 2SLGBTQIA+ folks face and want to be part of a community of advocates and allies working towards a solution.
We want to make it easy for you to take part, so we’ve got a range programs and ways to support the work we do through our Community Partnerships. Each program offers tiers of engagement, each with their own rewards and recognition.
Take a look below at the programs we’re building. Each of them targets a community within Canada’s larger 2SLGBTQIA+ demographic that deserves and needs access to affordable and culturally competent care. We’re hoping to get liftoff on these soon, and you could be a part of their development and expansion.
Here are some of the things we’re working on.
Intersections Program
Our Intersections Program recognizes the structural challenges Black and POC queer people face and offers ongoing subsidized therapy sessions with culturally competent clinicians.
HRT and Surgical Assessment Support
HRT and Surgical Assessments can be paid forward individually or through a larger donation. This is an essential part of medical care that is often not covered by Canadian health plans.
Indigiqueer Emerging Adult Mental Health Initiative
Our Indigiqueer Emerging Adult Mental Health Initiative provides 2SLGBTQIA+ Indigenous individuals and families (from 13 - 29 years of age) with therapy from an indigenous lens.
2SLGBTQIA+ Immigrant and Refugee
Welcome Committee
2SLGBTQIA+ Refugees are often arriving in this country with little support and lots to process. We want to create programs that can offer solace to this community of newcomers and we need your help.
Generation Q
Funding for therapy for queer youth, aged 14-19, is an ongoing goal for our team - we need help structuring this resource and visioning how to reach this community!
