Advancing 2SLGBTQ+ health equity in Ontario through provider training, resources and advocacy.

Faire progresser l'équité en matière de santé 2SLGBTQ+ en Ontario grâce à la formation des prestataires, aux ressources et aux efforts de plaidoyer. Rainbow Health Ontario works to ensure 2SLGBTQ+ communities receive equitable, affirming health care across Ontario. We train health care and service providers in clinically and culturally competent care, develop evidence-based resources, advocate for inclusive policy change, and host Canada’s largest 2SLGBTQ+ health conference. Santé arc-en-ciel Ontario œuvre afin de permettre aux communautés 2SLGBTQ+ de recevoir des soins de santé équitables et respectueux dans l'ensemble de l'Ontario. Nous aidons les prestataires de soins de santé à développer leurs compétences cliniques et culturelles, élaborons des ressources fondées sur des données probantes et plaidons en faveur de changements de politique inclusifs.

Our work to advance 2SLGBTQ+ health is inherently intersectional. We cannot achieve equity without confronting anti-Black racism and centring the voices, experiences and leadership of Black 2SLGBTQ+ people. Not just in February, but all year long.

At our event, RHO In Conversation: Navigating Racism & Transphobia, Dr. Jordan Goodridge highlighted an important principle in supporting marginalized communities:
