We are making voices heard

We share our voices and experience to provide information about gender and gender-affirming care for trans, Two-Spirit and non-binary youth.
Below are nine content areas that help broaden the focus on gender diversity and related care. We show the range of ways that gender-affirming care and support are important for youth who need it. There is lots to learn and we all have a role in continuing to improve the ways we care for and support gender diverse youth.

Through our stories, information and resources, we hope you will learn something new.
