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:

- My Choices for Safe and Inclusive Healthcare– a place to record important personal information related to health and preferences for care.
- Planning for My Care – a step-by-step guide for considering what is important for future care and having conversations with family, friends, and healthcare providers.
