The Benefits
Make it Easier for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks to work with you
Improving your processes and knowledge reduces the barriers 2SLGBTQIA+ folks face when working with helping professionals.
There's Bad news, but...
They’re depressing. 2SLGBTQIA+ folks are at higher risk of some mental health issues, more likely to develop chronic health conditions (and need your services!), and online hate crimes against 2SLGBTQIA+ rose between 2019-2021 in Canada. There is a clear and pressing needs to make changes and make things better.
A Few Hours Education Improves Outcomes
Studies show just a few hours of education in medical professions improved health outcomes for 2SLGBTQIA+ clients. It can improve yours too.

Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam is Hebrew, but it translates to ‘repairing the world.’ We strongly believe that it is our duty to work to make the world better. We also believe that we have the ability to make things better, even if it’s on a small scale. We can’t fix the world, but we have the power to make it better for the people around us.
