Canadian Virtual Hospice is proud to announce our new Two-Spirit and LGBTQ+ resources, Proud, Prepared, and Protected has officially launched.
Proud, Prepared, and Protected is a collection of online resources to assist people who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ to access and receive inclusive, respectful care. Created in partnership with Health Canada, these resources represent a collaboration with over 60 2SLGBTQ+ and ally agencies from across Canada and 100+ people who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ with lived experience. The series includes a dedicated webpage with various articles, over 150 videos, webinars, and innovative tools:
