PEI Transgender Network’s Gender-Affirming Wellness Project
In honour of yesterday’s Transgender Day of Visibility, we are highlighting the PEI Transgender Network for this week’s #FeatureFriday! They were a recipient of a 2021-22 Community Catalyst Grant.
- What? Gender-Affirming Wellness Project
- How? Providing new information and peer supports for PEI’s transgender community, and conducting a community needs assessment to help formally identify the needs of transgender Islanders.
- Impact! The information collected will help to better inform future service provision, education, and advocacy priorities of the organization. The goal is ultimately to remove existing barriers for transgender Islanders, therefore improving the mental wellness of PEI’s transgender community and reducing health inequities.
