For Service Providers

GBV Resources

For service providers, educators, healthcare providers, and anyone who would like to learn about GBV and how to be an affirming support for 2SLGBTQ people.

Our hope is that you’re interested in building up your knowledge and skills to create safer spaces, reflecting on personal bias, and addressing systems that harm 2SLGBTQ people.

Learning new things and unpacking former ways of thinking and acting is hard work.

We invite you to meet any confusion, fear, or discomfort you may experience as you learn with curiosity and compassion. Take time to celebrate your successes, and be kind to yourself as you move through your journey. We all start somewhere and there’s always more to learn!

This work is so important, so thank you for taking time to learn about how you can provide safer, more affirming care to 2SLGBTQ people. Your commitment to creating positive change is needed and appreciated. If you ever have questions, want to book training, or are seeking guidance, please reach out to us. We’re here to help.
