2SLGBTQI Inclusion for Mental Health and Social Service Providers​ invites participants to delve into the complex natures of human gender, attraction, and personal identity. Participants will consider the impacts of cultural and structural biases within Canada’s mental health systems on the mental health and well-being of 2SLGBTQI people. These ideas are then used to ground discussions sensitizing participants to practices that can compromise client trust and use inclusive language as a component of fostering safer and more inclusive services and programs. Participants will leave the session equipped with strategies that can be implemented immediately in their professional practice, along with further resources to support their continued learning. For: Psychologists, mental health nurses, counsellors, psychotherapists, social workers, personal support workers, palliative, and long-term care workers. Available in person and webinar.

The Black Health Primer aims to transform medical and health professional education to improve the lives of Black communities and beyond. It was created in response to gaps in education and training on Black health and anti-Black racism in medicine and public health in Canada.​

Anchored in critical race theory, the Black Health Primer supports the “unlearning” of anti-Black racism to create responsive health care professionals who are guided by anti-racist practices. The course offers solutions to address health inequities.
