Queering Mental Health Social workers, psychologists, counselors free webinar

 Are you a social worker, counsellor or healthcare professional wanting to improve 2SLGBTQI inclusion in your practice?

Join us for our Free 2SLGBTQI Inclusion Webinar on Apr 6, 2022 – 12:00 – 1:30 PM (ET)

2SLGBTQI people are falling through the gaps in the Canadian mental health system. 2SLGBTQI people are especially vulnerable both amid the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Exclusion, discrimination and a lack of cultural competence in mental health systems prevent vulnerable 2SLGBTQI people from accessing the inclusive services and care they need to manage mental health. As an immediate response, we have developed a training for mental health and social service providers.
