Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2025 - Mar 31, 2027
Description:
Through this 26-month project, the Montréal Youth Coalition Against Homophobia will address 2SLGBTQI+ communities’ needs and barriers to equality. More specifically, the organization will address barriers to appropriate healthcare facing the trans and 2SLGBTQI+ communities in Montréal and Quebec, namely in terms of access, navigation, professional competencies, and quality of care.
To achieve this, the organization will create an accessible, easy-to-navigate web application to help queer and trans people find appropriate care that meets their needs. The Coalition will establish a community expert committee to support the project. It will also develop a community-expertise-based best practices guide as well as training for gender-affirming care providers. An approval process for the application will be developed and followed during the project, which will end with the launch of the application and community guides.
By the end of the project, 2SLGBTQI+ communities will be able to rely on an easy-to-find web application that is managed jointly by 2SLGBTQI+ led community organizations. The application will list practitioners who follow the standards of care for, and meet the ongoing and evolving needs of, the trans community.
