Building on a recent publication from the National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health and Egale Canada titled Advancing 2SLGBTQI health equity as a public health priority, this session will describe the concept of gender-affirming public health and positions 2SLGBTQI+ health equity as a public health priority. An overview of literature related to the roots of health inequities and key priority issues experienced by 2SLGBTQI+ people will be shared. Opportunities for and examples of public health action at system-levels, in place-based settings, and through individual interactions will be described to support policy and practice change at all levels of public health to address the structural and social causes of 2SLGBTQI+ health inequities.

Join us for an interactive workshop that brings together members of the 2S/LGBTQIA+ community, people with lived experience, frontline workers, researchers, and healthcare providers to share knowledge and perspectives on brain health needs. Through guided discussions and activities, participants will help identify practical, community-driven ways to recognize when people may need brain health support. The ideas and priorities developed during the workshop will help inform future tools and resources for frontline workers who support people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
