Trans-Affirming Care Workshops

To decrease barriers accessing mental health services, the TREC Lab has collaborated with Skipping Stone Foundation (a community organization serving TGD folks) to create a two-part trans-affirming care workshop tailored to clinicians and healthcare professions.

Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) folks (those whose gender identity does not match their assigned sex at birth), experience discrimination as a result of transphobia and are at higher risk for mental and physical health difficulties when compared to their peers. Discrimination by health care professionals, and lack of training in gender-affirmative health care, have further deterred TGD folks from seeking care they need. To decrease barriers accessing mental health services, the TREC Lab has collaborated with Skipping Stone Foundation (a community organization serving TGD folks) to create a two-part trans-affirming care workshop tailored to clinicians and healthcare professions. The workshop consists of online modules and an in-person session. A mixed-methods approach, including both quantitative and qualitative methods is being utilized to assess the effectiveness of the workshop and to evaluate the learner experience.

We are thankful for the ability to live, work, and gather on this Land.

The TREC Lab recognizes we are gathered in an institution with a colonial history, and colonial present, and we aim to continually lessen ongoing colonial harms. We make this statement as an affirmation we are committed to improving our profession’s practices.

The members of the TREC Lab both acknowledge and pay tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6). The city of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina.
