Through this 13-month project, AGIR: Action LGBTQ+ avec les immigrantes et réfugiées will develop community-informed solutions to key barriers and gaps facing LGBTQ2 communities. This will be achieved by the elaboration of a 5 year strategic plan; the engagement in community based knowledge activities to adapt a care model to LGBTQ+ migrants and refugees and by the development of multilingual tools for LGBTQ+ migrants and health care and social service practitioners.

This project aimed to address a gap in access to culturally specific harm reduction and health services for queer people including harm reduction, acute primary care, and other health and social services.

Through this 17-month project, PEERS Alliance will develop community-informed solutions to key barriers and gaps facing 2SLGBTQ+ communities. This will be achieved by developing and delivering workshops for and to Service Providers, 2SLGBTQ2+ youth and other community members. With the support of a social worker, 2SLGBTQ+ community members will have access to support, helping to improve their resiliency and allowing them to learn to overcome barriers.

At the end of the project, PEERS Alliance will have identified best practices for trauma-informed and resilience focused 2SLGBTQ+ programming.

The visibility of care work and the momentum to address it in post pandemic presents a unique opportunity to shift who does daily care work; improve the conditions of paid care work (such as domestic workers); shift power relations between women and men, and shift responsibility for investments in care from household to state.

Through this 15-month project, Alter Acadie NB will develop community-informed solutions to address the main barriers and gaps faced by 2SLGBTQI+ communities. Actions that will be taken to achieve this include collaborating with regional partners to hold information, awareness-raising, and discussion sessions in order to initiate systemic change that will promote inclusion for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

In addition, the organization will learn more about existing resources in the province through meetings, research, and consultations. It will also enhance its ability to assist 2SLGBTQIA+ people in order to improve access to resources and help them browse services using a one-stop online portal.
