Through this 16-month project, Divergenres 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 equipping healthcare professionals to address the needs of trans people seeking to medically transition with training and career mentoring for healthcare professionals providing care to one or more trans people. An informational tool for supporting trans people in navigating healthcare services will be developed and shared in electronic and paper formats. The project will also provide tools for community organizations by training workers on providing effective guidance to trans people about healthcare and by creating a short reference guide on trans health for frontline community organizations.

This project has four key components:
1. A national survey targeting the public will be conducted to assess knowledge on invasive species and key pathways of spread.
2. A communications strategy will be prepared based on the results of the national survey. This will inform invasive species awareness campaigns geared towards various target audiences, and key priority areas of concern.
3. Indigenous engagement will support the preparation of a series of recommendations and activities aimed at invasive species prevention, control and response, including a workshop in Year Two of the project.
4. A series of fact sheets will be produced profiling stories and voices of Indigenous peoples that will:
a) highlight how invasive species have directly impacted traditional practices.
b) demonstrate how Indigenous traditional knowledge can help prevent, limit and help control the spread of invasive species.
c) share best practices that Indigenous communities and organizations have used to stop the spread of invasive species.
