Tip Sheet for Providing Care to Queer Bodies

Our 2023-2024 Pivot cohort recently produced this tip sheet to inform healthcare and service providers how they can provide better care to 2S/LGBTQIA+ patients and clients. The cohort identified that normative body conceptions - what queer bodies should look like, and what they should or should not do - are often the root cause of negative experiences in healthcare and service provision environments.

The QTHC is based in Amiskwaciwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) within Treaty 6 territory, a traditional meeting ground and home of the Nêhiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nahkawininiwak (Saulteaux), Niitsítapi (Blackfoot), and Îyârhe Nakoda (Nakota Sioux), as well as nations not represented by the treaty, and is located in Region 4 of the Métis Nation of Alberta. We commit to engaging in an ongoing process of decolonization, and will strive to conduct our work in an anti-oppressive and anti-racist way, working towards equity, empowerment, and inclusion for all Two Spirit, queer, trans, and non-binary people.
