The Atlantic Canadian BIPOC 2SLGBTQIA+ Health Leaders is a monthly professional development and networking group for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and other gender or sexual marginalized (2SLGBTQIA+) community members with an interest in working (or studying) in the field of 2SLGBTQIA+ health.
PLEASE NOTE: this is a closed group meaning only BIPOC 2SLBTQIA+ community members are invited to join and participate.
Our hope with this project is to:
* Build connections among those doing this work in Atlantic Canada
* Facilitate collaborations between partners
* Offer educational opportunities
* Support BIPOC 2SLGBTIA+ health leadership capacity in Atlantic Canada
Our monthly meetings will be 90 minutes and follow this structure most months:
* An informal check-in/introduction of members.
* A presentation by a member or an external expert.
* A discussion stemming from the presentation.
Eventually, we hope to launch a mentorship network in association with this group (that wouldn’t be until next year) to support those who want to do this work in Atlantic Canada.
